 The GO! St. Louis Mile-by-Mile Marathon program is a corporate wellness initiative that encourages employees to get fit by walking or running one mile at a time over a six-week period, to complete a 26.2 mile marathon. The program works collaboratively with local companies to help motivate and engage employees to make fitness and nutrition part of their lives. Depending on a company’s goals, GO! St. Louis will create a specialized program that includes additional fitness activities or appearances from members of the GO! St. Louis faculty, which is comprised some of the area’s top fitness and nutrition experts.
As the cost of employee healthcare continues to rise, it has become increasingly vital that companies establish a corporate wellness program. Companies that participate in the Mile-by-Mile Marathon program not only invest in the physical and mental health of their employees, but also take preventive measures by creating a healthier environment.
Since, 2007 when the program debuted, thousands of area employees have accepted the challenge. The Mile-by-Mile Marathon program includes a personal training log to chart a participant’s progress, t-shirt, as well as a medal and certificate upon completion. In addition, we encourage companies to hold special kickoff rallies and/or celebration events as part of the program. GO! St. Louis offers four “Lunch and Learn” sessions as part of the program. Lunch & Learn sessions include: proper stretching techniques, fitness goal setting, stress management, selecting the proper shoes/apparel and nutrition. Some of the companies that have completed the program include: PNC Bank, Wells Fargo Advisors, City of St. Louis, Booksource, AB Mauri Fleischmann’s, St. Louis Housing Authority, Concordia Plan Services, Concordia Publishing House and Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod.
