What is the Virtual Footslog?
To Footslog means Verb: (especially of a soldier) walk or march for a long distance, typically wearily or with effort. The Rotary Satellite Club of Casey -Cardinia have designed a virtual campaign where they are asking people to register and set a challenge of either 50km, 100km or 150km to raise money and awareness for mental health. They can either walk, run or cycle (or do a combination) their nominated distance in the month of October.
During the event, they will need to log their distances via Strava (this is free). We know there is a clear link to the benefits between exercise and easing mental health concerns.
All participants will receive a medal on their completion of their nominated distance.
