Fort Campbell’s Eagle Challenge Fitness Tour Offers Something for Everyone

February 12, 2013 |

Fort Campbell, KY – The Eagle Challenge Fitness Tour (ECFT) is a program for 2013 conceived as a vision from Fort Campbell senior leadership to provide our military community, as well as Oak Grove,KY, Hopkinsville, KY, and Clarksville, TN, with opportunities for a fun and healthy active lifestyle.

ECFT is a series of ten monthly events that will take place from February through November in 2013. Two events will be held in Clarksville, two events will be held in Hopkinsville, and six will be held on Fort Campbell.

At the end of the program, in November, everyone completing eight out of ten events will receive a Commander’s Gold Medal; six out of ten will receive a Silver Medal; and four out of ten will receive a Bronze Medal.

The Eagle Challenge Fitness Tour kicks off on February 22nd and 23rd with the Love Your Heart Health Fair and 10K/5K/1 Mile Run organized by 86th Combat Support Hospital, Blanchfield Army Community Hospital and Morale Welfare and Recreation. Both of these events will be held outside the gates of Fort Campbell and are accessible to everyone in the community.
