History of the Flagstaff Fitness Challenge
The Flagstaff Bike Challenge was established in the summer of 2020 as a way to encourage the region’s residents to get outside, get active and feel connected to the area in a safe manner during the pandemic. It was designed for participants of ALL ages and abilities. The Flagstaff Bike Challenge continued in 2021 with a few minor tweaks.
In 2022, the challenge was expanded to include a variety of activities, including walking, running, hiking, cycling, swimming, weight training, yoga and much more! It was rebranded the Flagstaff Fitness Challenge.
