Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken invites residents to join in a fitness challenge. He urges participants to run or walk 100 miles in the next 100 days. The mayor says it’s important to stay physically active during the pandemic.
Mayor TenHaken says being outdoors is safe as long as people follow the C-D-C’s social distancing guidelines.
“Positivity is not banned, ok?" he says. "Fitness is not banned. Walking is not banned. Running is not banned. Those are things we can continue to do in our city.”
The challenge begins Monday, April 20th, and runs through the end of July. South Dakota is expected to reach its peak coronavirus hospitalization rate in mid-June. Sioux Falls will likely see its peak in mid-May.
