Gold Medal Miles A Healthier You 2002TM, Utah's Health Legacy was an initiative between the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the Olympic Winter Games of 2002 (SLOC) and 18 Health Organizations located in Utah. The initiative employed a legacy of health and fitness to improve and motivate Utahns to trade in unhealthy lifestyles and embrace a life of health and wellness. The objective of this program was to maximize the health of all Utahns through the spirit of the 2002 Games. The goal was for all Utahns to achieve positive lifestyle changes and experience the accompanying health benefits. The initiative hoped to improve the health of our citizens by providing information, opportunities for participation, and motivational incentives to begin and maintain healthy behaviors. Gold Medal Miles are one-mile walks designed to encourage Utahns to become more physically active. Gold Medal MileTM legacy sites have been established throughout Utah. The aim of these sites is to establish the legacy of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Utah Gold Medal Miles have been planned with beginning walkers in mind. They are easily accessible, with restrooms and other facilities close at hand for your convenience. Most, are open year-round. Admittedly, mid-afternoon in mid -summer is probably not an ideal time to go for a walk, but early morning or in the evening in mid-summer is a great time to be outdoors. Even mid-day in winter, when it’s not storming, can be one of the most refreshing times of all to get out and take a little walk. The grand verdure renewal of springtime and the golden magnificence of autumn welcome even the most reticent to the outdoors for a short stroll. Each season has it’s own splendor and reward for those who simply reach out and take it. Gold Medal Miles are made to encourage you to do just that. Go for it!! |
