The Israel Trail Challenge began last year as a way for JFIT regulars and all JCC members to learn more about the terrain of Israel, while challenging themselves to hit exercise goals. The friendly competition was such a success, we’re continuing the Challenge in 2024!
As participants sign up to trek the 622 miles of the actual Israel Trail — which spans from North to South Israel — they apply their chosen workout (jogging, hiking, dance class/steps, rowing, etc.) to the miles it takes to reach the 15 stops we’ve designated on the map. MANY of our participants finished all 622 miles last year — which we celebrate at our annual Yom Ha’Atzmaut celebration — this year, on May 19.
AS AN ADDED BONUS THIS YEAR: We’re offering Israel Trail Challenge participants the opportunity to have FRIENDS & FAMILY sponsor their athlete, with 100% of proceeds going to Tidewater’s support of the Israel Emergency Fund. The dollars earned for this fund go directly to emergency medical, trauma, and relief efforts that are so necessary in Israel at this time. (For more about the fund, you can visit JewishVA.org/SupportIsrael).
Leaderboards can be found in the JFIT gym on our Challenge Wall.
