Earth Day Virtual Challenge Run/Walk: The third-annual event happens in Cape Coral and other cities across the country. The virtual run/walk started April 1 and ends April 30. The goal is to beat last year’s total of 51,023 miles traveled by participants. That’s more than twice the distance around the Earth’s equator (24,901 miles). Walkers and runners log their miles and report them on the event’s results page. Registration is required, but the event is free. You can also upgrade to packages that include T-shirts, a commemorative medal and an eco-friendly straw. tinyurl.com/2jbm55tc

Looking for fresh air, exercise or to learn more about the natural world around you? If yes, join Lloyd Center for the Environment s Research Director Mark Mello for this annual tradition and celebrate the New Year with a peaceful walk on Gooseberry Neck beach.
The Lloyd Center’s New Year’s Day Beach Walk will take place on New Year s Day, this Friday, from 10 am – 12 noon. Focusing on coastal ecology and bird identification, Mark will identify winter waterfowl and ‘washed up’ marine life. January is a wonderful time of year to walk the coast and observe the effects of wave action on the slope and shape of the beach. This is a very informal outing, and those that simply want to walk are more than welcome.
