Download the free Strava App on your mobile device and join the Georgetown Hospital Foundation Strava Club. Once you join the club you can track the walk/runs of other participants and also communicate with them and virtually cheer them on! This is a great way to engage with other participants when we aren't able to physically Walk or Run together.
