DES MOINES, Iowa (March 3, 2022) — Officials from the Drake Relays presented by Xtream powered by Mediacom and Wellmark® Blue Cross® and Blue Shield® announced the return of the Wellmark Set the Pace Challenge during the Grand Blue Mile. This year, registrants can participate virtually or in person on April 26 in downtown Des Moines, coinciding with the 112th edition of the Drake Relays presented by Xtream. The challenge encourages Iowans to develop sustainable, healthy habits to adopt throughout 2022.
As part of the challenge, the community with the highest percentage of its residents participating in the in person or virtual Grand Blue Mile — measured by the number of registrants for a given ZIP code against its total population — will be awarded $10,000 to use on a project that promotes safe, inclusive and accessible places in which to be active, such as a park, playground or trail.
