Nestle Nutri-Go Virtual Challenge

In an effort to keep us healthy in spite of social distancing, curfews and lockdowns as a result of the impact of the COVID19 Pandemic, we are excited to present the Nestle Nutri-Go Virtual Challenge Run/Walk/Ride, the first of its kind in Jamaica.

What is a Virtual Race?

Most people want to be healthier. Running, walking and riding are some of the best exercises you can do to achieve this goal. The benefits are endless, but finding the motivation (and time) to devote to it may be easier said than done. That’s where virtual races come into play.

A virtual race is a run, walk and/or ride event of a predetermined distance that participants can complete on any date and time within a specified period. There isn’t the commitment of waking up early on a weekend, driving to a set location, and lining up with hundreds or thousands of other participants for races. Virtual races aren’t intimidating; quite the opposite; they’re light-hearted, inclusive, and fun. Participants are given the flexibility to complete the distance at a time that fits their schedule. They can take part in the event anywhere they are in the world. The walk, run or ride may be done on the road, trail, treadmill or bicycle trainer. All one has to do is to record the time taken and the distance completed.

For the Nestle Nutri-Go Virtual Challenge, participants are given over three weeks to complete their contest. The event offers 18 run, walk and ride contests of various distances and combinations catering to the novice and the avid racer alike.

Why enter a Virtual Race especially during the COVID-19 Pandemic?

Regular exercise is essential for everyone under normal circumstances. However, here are a few reasons why exercise is especially crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic:

Exercise boosts the immune system: Research shows that regular, moderate-intensity exercise has immune-boosting benefits that may help your body fight off infections, including COVID-19.
Exercise may prevent weight gain: Exercise can help you burn extra calories caused by dietary changes and offset the effects of sedentary activities.
Exercise reduces stress and anxiety: Exercise is a proven mood-booster and can help adults reduce stress levels and build emotional resilience.
Exercise improves sleep: There is evidence that suggests regular exercise helps you fall asleep faster and improves sleep quality — and getting a good night’s sleep has also been found to boost your immune system.

Entering the Nestle Nutri-Go Virtual Challenge will motivate you to maintain your exercise program and reap the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. The event also allows one to comply with the social distancing guidelines that will help you stay safe by limiting exposure to the COVID19 virus.
