What is the Silver Chain Challenge?
The Silver Chain Challenge is an exciting, community-driven initiative that invites residents and visitors of Lanark and Renfrew Counties to engage in friendly competition while promoting physical activity and environmental stewardship. This annual event challenges participants to share their cycling and walking photos through the month of June, celebrating active transportation and its benefits for health and well-being.
