April 6, 2026— Decatur Memorial Hospital will host a kickoff event for the “Mindful Miles” Walking Challenge on April 30 from 5 to 7 p.m. along the hospital’s walking trail.
The event is part of a regional initiative led by Memorial Health, encouraging residents to participate in a monthlong walking challenge throughout May.
At the Decatur kickoff, participants can register for the free program, ask questions, and pick up giveaways. The challenge officially runs from May 1 through May 31 and uses a mobile app to track participants’ walking miles.
Organizers say individuals who log 50 miles or more during the month will receive a free T-shirt.
The program is designed to promote physical and mental health through regular activity, with walking highlighted as an accessible form of exercise for all fitness levels.
