Walking Challenge with Fitness Trackers

The Walking Challenge with Fitness Trackers will promote wellness by encouraging participants to walk more often during the day. Participants may use supported activity tracking devices to record the number of daily steps taken and transmit this number into the ChallengeRunner.com system. The totals of those steps are then compared against one another and a real-time leaderboard is made available.

In order to receive data from tracking devices, each participant must first install the appropriate software and create an account on the activity tracker's website. Every participant must then authorize ChallengeRunner.com to capture individual data as follows:

After logging in, the participant must click the Profile link at the top of the home page and then click the Authorize link. On the tracker website shown the user must enter their ID and Password they created when they first registered the device.

Once the device is authorized, the user must ensure that they connect their device to the activity tracker's website at least once per day to sync data.

This challenge will run for six weeks, Januray 13 thru February 23. At the conclusion of six weeks, the participants with the following steps will be awarded:

Every participant who records an average of 336,000 steps (8000 daily) will receive a participation award. Anyone who meets an average goal of 630,000 steps (15,000 daily) will earn an additional prize and if you top an average of 840,000 steps (20,000 daily) you will be entered in a drawing to win the top prize. 

The Walking Challenge with Fitness Trackers has the following characteristics:

  • In the leaderboard, each participant is able to see where they stand in relation to other participants using real names.
  • Devices should be synced every day; however, participants may take up to seven days after the log date to sync data. 
  • Although activity trackers are supported, they are not required. Particiants may enter their own data uning the ChallengeRunner website or ChallengeRunner smartphone apps.
