These walking routes are from the results of the creation of the Chadron Walking Route Brochure.

The initial idea was to chart a few routes in Chadron to encourage residents and visitors to increase their activity levels. A Chadron State College Service Learning Grant in the amount of $500.00 was applied for and received to fund the project.

The regular "walkers" were questioned about their routes and those routes were given to Mr. Curt Holmquist and his Geometry and Algebra students at Chadron High School to measure. They used Global Positioning Systems and a measuring wheel for each route. They measured fourteen different routes in Chadron.

Ms. Mary Donahue's Graphic Design class at Chadron State College took on the project of creating brochures out of the routes and information provided. The final brochure was a compilation from the great designs and ideas of all the brochures created and will be printed and distributed to local motels and will also be linked on the Chadron Wellness website.

The CSC Learning grant provided money for the high school students to get refreshments while they were out measuring routes, provided the refreshments for the Graphic Design reception where all the brochures were unveiled, and will be used to fund the printing of the brochures.

The Lifespan Wellness Team would like to thank all the people involved in this process, the "walkers", the Chadron High School students and Mr. Curt Holmquist, Chadron State College, Ms. Mary Donahue and her Graphic Design III (ART 421) class.
