Grand Forks Recreation (GFREC) staff would like to invite the community to join a six-week personal fitness challenge.
Pick up your log book today and commit to a healthier you in the next six weeks. Record your activity, the date and the duration of the activity and feel the results.
The challenge takes place from Aug. 22 to Oct. 1. Return your log book with your name and enter into a draw for a free 25-session pool pass. Everyone will have an opportunity to win but you must fill out your log book and return it to the pool.
