Family Fun-Athlon


_ Join the fun in Richfield during July, August and September.  Each member of your family participating in the Family Fun-athlon will be required to complete activities for their spirit, mind and body. 

Each family member should track their progress on individual charts. Any combination of family members may participate.  Please register with the recreation department.

Devise a workout strategy and pace yourself so you can accomplish the Fun-Athlon in the time period.  If participants are unable to bike, run, walk or swim then other aerobic activities can be substituted at 15 minutes per square on the results sheet.  The intent of this program is to get participants started on an exercise program that fits their abilities, needs and schedule.

Build family dynamics, build family spirit, and build family health.

Spirit-Mind-Body
Spirit / Mind


What are activities that could be included?

Spiritual activities are those things you do that reflect who you are.  Attending church, participating in a book group, reading scripture, listening to music, taking a hike with the family, etc. are some examples of what could be done for the spirit

Reading a book, working a crossword puzzle, learning a new skill would be examples of using your mind.  Since spirit/mind activities are so closely related oftentimes they overlap.  Use your own judgment.

Think of this as a time to interact as a family and build that relationship by including activities that the whole family can do.  Mixing up cookie dough, playing a board game or eating dinner together are great ways to spend time together and enjoy each other.  It is also a time where learning and sharing are going on.

Since the focus on the Family Fun-athlon is the promotion of family members interacting and communicating with each other – watching T.V./movies, playing video games or computer games will not qualify as Spirit/Mind activity.
