TRACKING YOUR ACTIVITY
You can choose to walk a mile a day, bike, hike, swim or even rock climb your way to better health. Any activity that gets your heart rate up for roughly 30 minutes counts! The key is to add a little bit of extra physical activity to your day continuously for 100 days. If you skip a day, try your best to make up for it!

“This program was a real motivator for me to hit and exceed my goals. Last year my goal was 100 miles and I exceeded it. This year my goal was 250 miles and I just added in last week’s numbers and hit 350 miles. Not only did I enjoy the program so did my wife who had a goal if 100 miles. She went to the gym and easily passed this number doing at least 2 miles each day on the treadmill and walking around the neighborhood”
-Steve
“…the Roanoke 100 Miler is such an opportunity for fitness and well being. I have participated for several years and find the Roanoke 100 to be a true catalyst for mental and physical motivation. This year is no exception and even more so. The program remains wonderfully simple yet the benefits are so real. Even though I live 45 miles from Roanoke, I feel I am part of a team that empowers each other to get out there and commit to the miles and build a healthier community.”
–Tenney
“I do this every year and love the way it reaches out to new individuals as a way to get them started in an easy heathy activity.”
