Lincoln Memorial Hospital's
Wellness in Motion Challenge Set for October
[September 14, 2026]
LINCOLN — Lincoln Memorial Hospital
is inviting community members of all ages and abilities to
participate in the free Wellness in Motion Challenge, a month-long
community wellness event taking place Oct. 1–31.
The challenge encourages participants to move their way through the
month while working toward a goal of 100 miles of movement. Complete
100 miles or more and earn a Wellness in Motion t-shirt. Eligible
activities include walking, rolling, running, cycling, swimming and
other forms of physical activity. People of all abilities and
activity levels are welcome.
For Peggy Bateman, a 62-year-old resident of Lincoln, the wellness
challenges have become an important part of maintaining her health
and well-being. She has participated in every challenge hosted by
Lincoln Memorial Hospital and won the very first one in October
2023.
"Walking is important. It's free, and there's no cost to take a
walk," she said. "Walking makes me feel good all over. Plus, I love
the fall. There's a little crispness in the air, and you get to take
in all the fall colors.”
Participants in this latest challenge can track their progress using
the free Pacer app and register online through

The Wellness in
Motion Challenge focuses on moving more, supporting one another
and celebrating progress, regardless of fitness level or
experience. Participants may log activities throughout October
and complete their miles at their own pace.
"The Wellness in
Motion Challenge is a great opportunity for people to build healthy
habits while enjoying activities they already love," said Molly
McCain, LMH community health consultant. "Whether someone is just
getting started or is already active, every mile counts."
Participants without a smartphone can still take part in the
challenge. Alternative participation and tracking options are
available. For more information or to register, visit
