Clubs in Motion is a FAWCO initiative to encourage members to stay physically fit.
Keep your Club Members healthy and increase FAWCO awareness. Start sending a record of all those kilometers or miles your Clubs' walkers and runners have walked or run.
Who can send in kilometers/miles?
FAWCO Club activities can include walking groups, participating in walks/runs in your area, organizing a walk with your Club Members, etc. In order for the kilometers/miles to count, three or more members must be exercising together. We are not gathering data from individuals walking on their own, because this is about both the physical benefits and the mental benefits of getting active together!
How will the kilometers/miles be tallied?
Send kilometers from Club activities with Club name to and the number of participants. Please include the name and location of any organized walks/runs - for example: breast cancer awareness, club walking group, marathons, etc. and any special locations. Send photos! Please note you must have permission from all in the photo to share with us. The photos may be used in reports or publications.
Why should Clubs get involved?
Exercise benefits your health. Did you know that for every hour of regular, vigorous exercise you do, like brisk walking, you can live two hours longer? And we all know that it's more FUN to exercise with friends. Clubs in Motion will be a fun way to get your members active and interested in FAWCO.
