What is GO GURNEE
Drawing on collaborations with community members, government agencies, clubs as well as businesses, schools and religious organizations, GO GURNEE seeks to promote community health, with an emphasis on outdoor movement.
Getting moving is simple and easy to do. Commit to 30 minutes of daily activity, primarily walking. That’s the way to GO! Looking for a bit of motivation or ways to get started? Enjoy FREE programs and events that are close to your Gurnee community.
GO Gurnee is made possible by Gurnee Park District partners including, GO Lake County, WTHS FBLA, Audubon Society, Lake County Health Department, Lake County Forest Preserve, FitNation and the Village of Gurnee. With these strong partnerships, GO GURNEE continues to educate, engage and collaborate in order to serve, inspire and encourage healthy living.

"We really wanted to incorporate the entire family into the Go Gurnee event," Gilbert said. "There are so many benefits to walking that we thought it was important to ensure all of our residents -- including our furry friends -- have plenty of opportunities to build healthy habits."
Gurnee has launched an advisory committee charged with suggesting options to help make the village more walkable and easier to traverse for bicyclists.
"We always try to fight technology, saying children are staying home because of technology, they're not getting out and moving," Kuruvilla said Friday. "But here's an opportunity to combine technology and physical activity. So that's where we thought it's an innovative idea for us to just tag along and get people engaged," shared Susie Kuruvilla, Executive Director.
Pat Bodame, Fitness Services Supervisor with FitNation, stated, “With FitNation being the leader for fitness in the Gurnee community and GO GURNEE focusing on getting people to move for 30 minutes a day, collaborating together on free fitness events just makes sense.”
