LBK Community Walk Kicks Off In September
Join the 'Hike to Palo Duro' Challenge
LBK Community Walk invites all community members to lace up their walking shoes and participate in the ‘Hike to Palo Duro’ walking program from September 1 to September 28. This exciting initiative encourages participants to form teams of up to 10 people and collectively walk a distance of 112 miles, the equivalent distance from Lubbock to Palo Duro Canyon.
The program aims to promote physical activity, build new connections and offer education on Lubbock resources. Teams will have the entire month to complete the 112-mile challenge, with a series of partner walks hosted by various community partners to motivate teams along the way. Teams who participate in the Partner Walks receive a 2-mile reward per walk attended. These events are free and open to everyone.
