Congratulations to the Step It Up Sisters from the City of Franklin who have walked more than 592 miles or the distance from Northwest to Southeast Nebraska! The group is the first team of three to win the challenge given to LARM members of walking across the state before the end of the year. It's not too late to get your miles walked, jogged, or run before December 31, 2026. There is a free LARM water bottle for everyone who completes the challenge.
