StepUp Series Details
Given COVID-19, we have heard a desire to connect while taking caution in how we engage with members and guests in responsible and mission-centric ways.  In response, Impact 100 has created this StepUp experience that leverages our beautiful parks, outdoor stairways, and rich history while inviting you to StepUp and move!   On each StepUp walk or fitness experience, guests will:

• Meet at a central location with 1-3 volunteer "guides;"
• Explore a pre-determined route with various outdoor flights of steps, following social distancing regulations;
• Break at least twice so people can go at their own pace & spread out;
• Regroup at historically relevant locations for a brief history lesson;
• Meet & hear from an Impact 100 Grant Recipient creatively connected to the route.

All are welcome!  Grab a friend, increase your step count, and learn something new along the way.  Children and leashed dogs are welcome at your discretion and with advanced registration/waiver of liability. Please note distance, steps, and route details in determining appropriateness.

Health & Safety
Impact 100 cares about your health & safety while developing creative ways to stay connected.  Given such, it is strongly recommended that attendees wear masks and/or commit to walking at least 6 feet apart for social distancing purposes along the route as we collectively take caution in unintentionally spreading the virus. We ask registrants to agree to social distancing & provide their own Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as a face mask. Registrants are welcome to contact Impact 100 if help is needed securing a PPE.
