JACKSONVILLE, FL- January 20, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 Today, nearly 2,000 community members participated in #TreadmillTuesday, a Guinness World Record attempt to achieve the greatest distance on a treadmill by a mixed team in 12 hours. Together, 1,756 participants walked, jogged or ran at least 3,784.94 miles. The event is one of several world record challenges that are a part of #My30, a First Coast YMCA campaign to inspire people to become more physically active and encourage adults to achieve 30 minutes of exercise, five times a week.<\/p>\n Participants were able to join via social media or by visiting one of 13 Y facilities across the First Coast. Online participants joined by posting a picture of their dashboard summary, tagging @FirstCoastYMCA and using #My30 and #TreadmillTuesday. The total mileage will be submitted to Guinness World Record officials for review. The current world record is 106 miles.<\/p>\n \u201cWith this remarkable showing, we were able to achieve results that will shatter the current record while helping more residents get their 30 minutes of physical activity,\u201d said Eric Mann, president and CEO of YMCA of Florida\u2019s First Coast. \u201cThe success of #TreadmillTuesday is a promising launch to the #My30 campaign and community-wide efforts to build a healthier First Coast.\u201d<\/p>\n At each branch, the first 30 #TreadmillTuesday participants received a #My30 t-shirt and all participants were entered into a chance drawing to win a FREE Fitbit. Additionally, each branch awarded a one-month FREE YMCA membership to the participant who achieved the greatest distance in the 30-minute treadmill workout. Both social media and branch participants who tagged @FirstCoastYMCA and used #My30 and #TreadmillTuesday were entered to win a free six-month YMCA membership.<\/p>\n The total number of participants and distance for each branch is detailed below along with winners of free one-month Y memberships and Fitbit activity trackers. Winning participants may pick-up their prize next week at the Y branch where they participated in the world record attempt. A staff member will call the winner to coordinate prize pick-up.<\/p>\n Arlington YMCA<\/strong> YMCA at the Bank of America Tower<\/strong> Barco-Newton Family YMCA<\/strong> Brooks Family YMCA<\/strong> Dye Clay Family YMCA<\/strong> Flagler Center YMCA<\/strong> Johnson Family YMCA<\/strong> McArthur Family YMCA<\/strong> Ponte Vedra YMCA<\/strong> St. Augustine YMCA<\/strong> Williams Family YMCA<\/strong> Yates YMCA<\/strong> YMCA at Florida Blue<\/strong> YMCA at UF Health<\/strong> Social Media<\/strong> For more than 100 years, YMCA of Florida\u2019s First Coast has been providing men, women and children of all ages, and from all walks of life, opportunities to build stronger bonds, live healthy and become more engaged with their communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MORE THAN 1,750 FIRST COAST RESIDENTS\u00a0COMPLETE NEARLY 4,000 MILES IN WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT #TreadmillTuesday brings community members together to make history and take steps toward building a healthier First Coast JACKSONVILLE, FL- January 20, 2015 \u2013 Today, nearly 2,000 community members participated in #TreadmillTuesday, a Guinness World Record attempt to…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":16907,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-16 17:16:43","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category"},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.curran-connors.com\/FCYMCA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.curran-connors.com\/FCYMCA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.curran-connors.com\/FCYMCA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.curran-connors.com\/FCYMCA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.curran-connors.com\/FCYMCA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.curran-connors.com\/FCYMCA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.curran-connors.com\/FCYMCA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.curran-connors.com\/FCYMCA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.curran-connors.com\/FCYMCA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.curran-connors.com\/FCYMCA\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
