Description:
Registration opens April 1 for Homer Steps Up community walking challenge, a four week event running May 1 – 28, 2024. This event is open to anyone on the southern Kenai Peninsula, and attracts hundreds of individuals on dozens of teams to compete for nearly $2,000 value in prizes.
The challenge is free to register, and teams of 5-25 members compete by logging their steps using a wearable fitness tracker, smartphone or tracking and entering them manually. The winning team, based on a cumulative average of their members’ steps (not a total sum), gets bragging rights and their name on the traveling trophy. The top three winning teams will designate cash donations of $500 for first, $300 for second and $200 for third to a local non-profit of their choice.
Thanks to a grant from South Peninsula Hospital Foundation, all individual participants reaching a weekly step average of 35,000 steps (approximately 5,000 steps a day) will be entered for weekly prize drawings and $1,800 in end of challenge cash prizes. Three winners will be drawn in three different step categories weekly, and they are eligible for $100, $200 and $300 cash prizes at the challenge end. Winners will be announced and all will be celebrated at the end of challenge awards event.
