InMotion Urban Challenge 
InMotion Network is proud to announce that they will be holding the InMotion Urban Challenge on Saturday, September 17th!
The InMotion Challenge is an exciting event where teams of two will make their way through the Urban Jungle to complete a series of fun and exciting physical challenges.
Participants will have an opportunity to win fantastic prizes and enjoy a day geared towards getting women physically active while racing, trekking, riding, biking or strolling through beautiful downtown Edmonton! The InMotion Urban Challenge is about encouraging women to become more physically active and so the spirit of the race is one of participation and fun, rather than competition.
Proceeds will support InMotion Network's dedication to promoting physical activity for girls and women in Alberta.
Do you know anyone that you feel should get active? Get your co-worker, girlfriend, sister, mother or even your grandmother and come out for InMotion Urban Challenge 2011!!
For more information visit the website or call 780-644-5613
