With the weather changing and days getting shorter and darker, it becomes more challenging for a lot of us to want to exercise outside in spite of knowing how good outdoor movement is for our health. You know what makes getting outside easier? When it’s for an event, when you can do it with friends or family, when it’s for a good cause, and when you get to end it with a fun reward!
