How will you Take the Lake in 2021?
Back by popular demand...the Take the Lake Challenge. In 2020, COVID caused us to make some modifications to our traditional Take the Lake event. We heard such great feedback about the 2020 event, that we have decided to "Bring Back the Fun in 21" with a virtual event. We know you might be pretty bummed we can't have an in-person event, and we are, too. We are all about hosting a safe and healthy event, and we are just not comfortable, at this point, to plan for and host a large scale event. But, we are not going to let that stop us from getting outside and working on our personal fitness challenges virtually with friends and family near and far this summer. How can I participate in Take the Lake Challenges? Take the Lake is all about you and working toward your own personal fitness goal and journey. Our traditional events such walk, run, hike, paddle, swim, and rowing are definitely in the mix since they are the core of our traditional in-person events. But don't rule at dance, a fitness class, or Cross-Fit...the sky is the limit..just get out and get moving! Log your miles each day and track your miles on our virtual map to see exactly where you are on the route whether it’s in the state park, Waccamaw Shores, or Canal Cove Rd, etc. We encourage everyone at every fitness level to participate. Gather your friends and family to "Take the Lake" virtually from all over the world. If you have health issues, have never exercised before, or it’s been a long time since you participated in physical activities, we recommend you get medical clearance before you start a fitness program. What type of exercise miles can I log? Walk, run, hike, bike, swim, row, paddle OR use our exercise conversion chart to convert your movement minutes to miles. How long is the Take the Lake Challenge? 15 Days! Why 15 days? Because it is 15 miles around the lake. Challenge yourself to move 1 mile a day and you will have made one loop around the lake in 15 days. Challenge yourself to move 2 miles a day and you will have made 2 loops around the lake in 15 days! You get the idea...how far will you go in 15 days. How do I submit my miles? Check out the FAQ page for instructions on logging your miles, converting exercise minutes to miles and downloading your digital bib. What is included with my registration?

Can we still plan to come to Lake Waccamaw over Labor Day Weekend and do things, even if there is no organized on site event? The park will be open?
