Stonewall Abbey’s 12 Day Marathon!
This is a fun challenge where we walk, jog or run our way to 26.2 miles during the 12 Days of Christmas. The marathon will take place from December 25th to January 5th and can be completed anywhere- outside or on a treadmill. It's a fun way to either kickstart your fitness goals, take them up a level or maybe as a way to encourage a hesitate friend to join you with your fitness quest. As much as we would like to take credit for this creative endeavor, we were inspired by a trail runner and mother, Carly Barnes. If you’d like to know more about Carly please check out her article:

The 12 Day Marathon is simple: Register on our website https://www.stonewallabbeywellness.com/ or drop by the Abbey. Beginning December 25, you’ll start your marathon and begin to keep track of your daily mileage. It’s based on the honor system, so no fancy apps to download, etc. Once you’ve completed your 26.2 miles over the 12 Days, bring your mileage ’tracker’ by The Abbey and you’ll receive your Marathon Medal! It’s that easy!
Proceeds from Registration Fees ($25 per person) will be donated to the local fire department and rescue squad. Stonewall Abbey Wellness will offer several weekly ‘meet ups’ to get you motivated and to help you keep up the momentum!
