PEOPLE are being offered a ton of reasons to get fit this summer.

The Wear Walking for Health Ton up Challenge is a personal fitness challenge to walk, jog or run up to 100 miles between May 11 and August 28 at Peases West Athletics track in Crook.

The 100 minutes of activity, 100 laps of the athletics track, or 100 miles can be completed around the athletics track or on identified routes using the Peases West Walkway.

All-weather routes have been identified at Glenholme Park and any Wear Walking for Health led walk miles also count towards the total.

All efforts will be monitored on a personal record card, and there will be gold, silver and bronze achievement certificates and a T-shirt for those completing the challenge.

The scheme is available for free from Monday to Friday from noon until 2pm and Monday and Wednesday evenings from 4pm until 7pm.

Enrol at the track or for more details call Lynn Wilson at Durham County Council on 01388-765555 or email lynn.wilson@durham.gov.uk.
