50 Miles for 50 Years Challenge

Stay Active. Celebrate 50 Years. Join the Challenge.

In honor of our 50th Anniversary, the Town of Herndon Parks & Recreation Department invites the community to participate in our 50 Miles for 50 Years Challenge—a fun and motivating way to stay active while celebrating five decades of recreation in Herndon.

Whether you prefer swimming laps or enjoying water aerobics, the goal is simple - Complete 50 miles before December 31, 2026.

How It Works

The challenge is open to all ages and fitness levels. Choose the activity that motivates you and track your progress throughout the year.

Choose Your Activity:

• Swim 50 miles
• Complete 50 miles of water aerobics*

(Or mix and match—every bit of movement counts!)

*1 aerobic class / 1 hour water exercise on your own = 1 mile

Track Your Progress

Participants can track their miles using our official tracking sheet.

You can:

• Pick up a tracking sheet at the Herndon Community Center, or
• Download and print your tracking sheet at home

Turn in your completed sheet to the Aquatics Office once you’ve reached 50 miles.

Earn Awesome Prizes

Everyone who completes the challenge before the end of 2026 will receive special 50th Anniversary prizes as a thank-you for being part of this milestone year and committing to active living.
