LENA - Skate Station, 7016 U.S. 20 West, has joined with the Roller Skating Association International in presenting it's annual Skate A Million Miles event for the third year to promote a healthy lifestyle through roller skating.

Skate A Million Miles will kick off March 12 and run through June 30. The event will focus on the health benefits of roller skating, and thus has partnered with The President's Challenge Program. From the March 12th start date through the final date in June, Skate Station will join skating centers across the country in asking skaters to register for this event. Ten thousand skaters skating at least five times throughout the event is what is needed to help the RSA get to the overall goal of one million miles.

The dates of Skate A Million Miles coincide with The President's Challenge Program so participants can log their time spent roller skating as one of their activities in working to achieve the President's Active Lifestyle Award (PALA.)

Skate Station is located halfway between Freeport and Lena on U.S. Hwy. 20.
