Looking to add a little adventure into your trip to work?
Want to get a duck's eye view of Jackson?
Seeking a good time with fellow Smart Commuters?
July's group commute takes you out of the driver's seat and puts a paddle in your hand! 
The Fitness Council and the Grand River Environmental Action Team (GREAT) are leading a commute by canoe and kayak down the Grand River.  You can experience the city from a new perspective on this novel commute.  This 40 minute trip will begin at the High St. bridge near Alro Steel at 7:30am.  We will end at Consumers Energy Plaza, right downtown.  You should organize your own transportation to and from the boats.
This event has limited space and registration is required, even if you plan to bring your own boat.  We provide floatation devices.  Sign up at info@fitnesscouncil.org

Why Smart Commute?

Get Healthy: Burn calories, tone your muscles, and increase your overall fitness level as you walk or bicycle throughout the day.

Save Money: Fuel costs, automobile maintenance, and parking fees make car ownership the second largest household expense.

Be Green: Help make your community a greener place by reducing car trips, the single largest source of air pollution.
