Trek Across County Trails was a six-week online virtual wellness challenge featuring more than 40 County of San Diego parks. The program was designed with the County’s Parks and Recreation Department to encourage employees to continue their wellness journey and learn well-being habits that will last long after the challenge is over, especially during these challenging times of COVID-19. The challenge focused on three health and wellness behaviors for each participant: physical activity, introspection (mind, body and soul) and energy conservation/sustainability (taking time for oneself and sustaining healthy habits). This challenge showcased many hiking, walking and biking trails, historical sites and preserves, beautiful lakes, recreational facilities, and family campgrounds.
