About Moon Walk
The Quad City Health Initiative Wellness Champions will launch Moon Walk 2009 on Friday, April 3, 2009. Moon Walk 2009 will pit the Quad Cities against teams from Peoria and Champaign-Urbana in a virtual community race equivalent to a roundtrip to the moon or 477,400 miles. The Moon Walk started in Peoria in 2003 and this will be the fourth Moon Walk for the Quad Cities; the Quad Cities has won two of the past three Moon Walks and is the defending Moon Walk Champion. This year’s race will end June 12, 2009 and the winner will be declared on June 16th. The community that has accumulated at least 477,400 miles and that has the highest number of miles per registered participant will be the winner of Moon Walk 2009.
Why? The Wellness Champions are committed to helping Quad City residents make healthy choices regarding diet and exercise. The Moon Walk is a fun way to start exercising or reinforce the importance of daily exercise to maintaining our health and preventing disease. Our spirited competition with Peoria and Champaign-Urbana helps raise awareness about wellness in all our communities.
