HERMISTON — The gyms may be closed and 5K races canceled, but the Hermiston Parks and Recreation Department is still challenging residents to get moving.

To replace its usual spring walk/run challenge, the department has issued the Coronavirus 100K Challenge, giving individuals and families an opportunity to earn prizes based on a combination of exercise and responsible social distancing.

Participants can register and track their exercise with the goal of earning 100 kilometers (or 62 miles) by May 15. They can track actual miles they run, walk, or cycle if they are doing those activities while practicing safe social distancing, but can also earn a “mile” by exercising at home for 15 minutes using a workout video, weights or other methods.

In addition, people can award themselves two miles for every day that they successfully avoid making any unnecessary trips out of their home. They can also log one mile per day if they avoided getting sick.

Registration, which costs $15 for the first person and $5 apiece for subsequent family or household members, can be found online at nit.ly/hermistonrecreation. All participants who reach 62 miles, regardless of when, will receive a free T-shirt. Those who log their miles each day into the online system and reach the May 15 goal are eligible to win other prizes too.
