Healthy Challenge Series Crosses First Goal Finish Line
Published: June 4, 2015
By: Mary Perren, WKVI
The checkered flag has dropped on the first Moving Starke County Forward Healthy Challenge Series goal. Participants were charged with notching 250 exercise miles from May 11th through the 29th. The theme is NASCAR, so the first goal was billed as the Daytona 250. Participants lapped that and then some, logging more than 700 miles.
The next challenge is the Hamlet 500. Participants can sign up or log miles on the Moving Starke County Forward Facebook page. Registration and mileage log sheets are also available at Knox City Hall or at the Starke County Public Library branches. NASCAR prizes will be awarded after Aug. 30th. Meanwhile, the individual or team who turns in the most miles from June 15 through the 30th will win a Starke County t-shirt.

5/2/2015 Moving Starke County Forward Healthy Challenge Series Begins Saturday
Published: April 28, 2015
By: Anita Goodan, WKVI
This year’s Moving Starke County Forward summer challenge is about ready to begin.
The kick-off event for the NASCAR-themed Healthy Challenge Series is set for this Saturday, May 2 at Wythogan Park at 10 a.m. Participants will start the Healthy Challenge Series by walking the pace lap around the park after the sign-up process.
Residents are urged to log steps that could include walking, biking, running, swimming, or hiking for a chance to win some NASCAR prizes. Steps or miles will be recorded every two weeks to reach a certain goal during that time. The first goal will be the Daytona 250. Participants are encouraged to log activity totaling 250 miles by May 16. Details on how to report those steps will be released this week. A different goal will be released shortly before the first deadline.
Since this year’s theme is NASCAR, the winner of the individual event and the team event will get some NASCAR prizes. NEMCO Motorsports will give the individual winner the chance to have a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series experience. Go behind the scenes of the action at Chicagoland Speedway on Friday, Sept. 18 and see how teams prepare for race day. A specific pass is given to the winner and another person aged 18 or older courtesy of NEMCO Motorsports which will allow access to the garage area and pit road for a certain amount of time prior to the race. The attendees will also get to meet driver John Hunter Nemechek, tour the semi trailer that carries the truck he drives and receive merchandise. A separate ticket will need to be purchased to watch the race.
The winners in the team event will enjoy a subscription to NASCAR Illustrated and a prize package from Team Penske. Merchandise featuring Team Penske drivers Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney is included in the team prize.
More prizes could be offered, but you have to participate to win. Sign-up sheets are available at each library in Starke County and on Saturday at the kick-off event. For more information, email njdembowski@gmail.com.

Moving Starke County Forward Announces Summer Challenge
Published: March 30, 2015
By: Anita Goodan, WKVI
The Moving Starke County Forward organization is ready to “race” into the summer with this year’s walking challenge.
The theme this year is patterned after NASCAR races to see if all participants can reach the lap goal every two weeks with the number of miles walked, ran, biked, or swam. The Healthy Challenge Series, a healthy reference to NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series, will begin on May 2 with the kick-off event at 10 a.m. in Wythogan Park. An inaugural pace lap will officially start the event that will continue through Aug. 29.
Teams of up to five people are encouraged to participate. If you don’t have a team, you may participate as an individual. Registration sheets will be available in April at the library branches in Starke County, Knox City Hall, and the Starke County Tourism office.
The grand prize has some horsepower this year. The individual who logs the most miles at the end of the Healthy Challenge Series will win a NASCAR experience, courtesy of NEMCO Motorsports. The winner will receive two cold passes for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on Friday, Sept. 18 at Chicagoland Speedway. The passes allow the winner and one guest over the age of 18 a chance to visit the garage area and pit road for a limited time prior to the race, a meet and greet with driver John Hunter Nemechek, a tour of his truck hauler, and team merchandise. Tickets will need to be purchased to watch the race in the grandstands.
An overall team prize will be announced at a later date.
The first “race” of the Healthy Challenge Series will be the Daytona 250 where participants will be encouraged to turn in 250 miles of activity to the Moving Starke County Forward “race officials” to see if the participants made it to the checkered flag by the end of the two-week goal. Other “races” will be announced as the season progresses.
Any activity that you are physically able to do can be counted toward the goal. Make sure you keep track of your miles on a pedometer.
If you have any questions, contact Nancy J. Dembowski at njdembowski@gmail.com.
