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.
This is a TEAM competition. Each person's steps will be added into the total number of steps for the TEAM, and an average per person will be generated. The TEAM average will be available daily. The TEAM with the highest average of steps at the end of the competition will be considered the winning team.
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 until October 31. At the conclusion, the TEAM with the top three recorded steps will be awarded the following:
First Place Award
Second Place Award
Third Place Award
The top team will win a traveling community trophy. The winning team gets to display the trophy until another team wins subsequent challenges.
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. Participants may enter their own data using the ChallengeRunner website or ChallengeRunner smartphone apps.
