A Path to Wellness in West Virginia
The Mountaineer Mile is an inspiring initiative launched by Governor Patrick Morrisey to encourage West Virginians to embrace a healthier lifestyle through daily walking. In partnership with West Virginia State Parks, official Mountaineer Mile trails have been designated across the state, offering residents and visitors alike the opportunity to experience West Virginia’s natural beauty, while improving their physical health. This initiative supports the vision of the Center for ActiveWV, which aims to increase physical activity levels among both children and adults, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for all West Virginians. By participating in the Mountaineer Mile, individuals contribute to a statewide movement towards better health and well-being.
