Seniors from around the Valley are traveling all over the world on foot, but it's not what you think.

Staff members at the Staunton Senior Center organized a fitness challenge to encourage seniors to be active and healthy. As part of that challenge, they've taken up walking and other activities.

They aren't actually walking around Europe, but they are walking the same amount of miles it would take to do so. They wear pedometers on their shoes to track their mileage and, each day, staff at the center teach the seniors about the different countries they "travel" through.

The trek has become so popular that centers in Waynesboro and Augusta County have joined in on the walk. Now they are all competing to see who can walk the farthest.

By October, they hope to have walked more than 4,000 miles, but the trek only started at the beginning of August.
