Highlights from Healthier Jupiter's SECOND Walk and Bike on Jupiter Challenge!
In support of FDOT’s Mobility Week, community partners and Healthier Jupiter held a walking, biking and rolling challenge to get community members out and active to discover Jupiter. Participants got extra steps in before exercising or visiting a park, checked out cool spots in their neighborhood, and went to every day destinations like the grocery store, and convenient store.
The rules were simple use active modes of transportation to visit as many destinations from October 29th to November 5th. Participants could walk, bike, skate, scooter or roll their wheelchair. Visit more places, take more photos and win more prizes! Whether someone was new to walking or biking, an experienced walker or biker or unable to make it out to be active there were a lot of ways to participate.

To start, we asked some of our participants why they were interested in participating. Some shared they were excited to exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, support the community, and, of course, the prizes! Other participants shared:
“Supporting out Town of Jupiter ”
“The motivation of getting more active”
“Keeping community healthy and active”
“Getting outside and walking, getting exercise, finding new places to walk in Jupiter”
“Being active and walking more. I am excited to do the challenge with my mom and motivate each other!!”
“I am excited to walk more in my community and for my health. I also look forward to spending more time with my daughter. I like walking outdoors and being in nature.
“Getting motivated to be more physically active”
“Exploring this beautiful community while getting fit!”
“I like seeing our beautiful town while supporting a Healthier Jupiter! I am hoping the "Every Day Destinations" guide will have some new locations I didn't consider going to before”
“To exercise and spend family time”
