One of the key targets within the Welsh Assembly Government strategy for Sport and physical activity - " Climbing Higher", is to encourage mass participation in sport and physical activity and particularly 5 x 30 minutes of exercise a week. In order to achieve an increase in the proportion of people taking moderate physical activity from 30% up to 50% over the next 20 years, it will require 20,000 more people across Wales reaching and sustaining this level of activity.
As a North Wales region, the 6 Local Authorities and the Sports Council for Wales have worked collaboratively to develop the North Wales Outdoor Challenge. Within the next 12 months each Authority will develop 5 signposted routes, targeted within specific areas and at designated groups. Each signposted route will be for an average duration of 30 minutes, whether that be a cycle trail on road/off road, an orienteering course, walking route, jog trail etc.
Your challenge is to log onto
www.northwalesoutdoorchallenge.co.uk and find out where your 5 x 30 routes are.
