Description:

Miles for Millions 4 Week Challenge

The Miles for Millions August Challenge will promote wellness by encouraging participants to move more often through the week. Participants may use a supported activity tracking device to record the daily distance traveled and transmit this number into the ChallengeRunner.com system. The totals of those distances 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.

 

Challenge Information:
  • Challenge will run 8/31-9/27 (four weeks total). Every week is Monday-Sunday. Each team must complete x amount of miles (determined by how many millions installed) by run, walk, bike, etc. by the following Monday.
  • Teams will be assigned by admins (Nicole/Emily/Sandy) once everyone that wants to participate signs up, max of 10 people per team. To be eligible for the prize, everyone from your team must participate each week.
  • Team with closest amount of miles per million done at the end of the four weeks will be awarded a $100 Amazon Gift Card for each team member.
  • Challenge Runner will host the challenge, showing leaderboard, teams, etc. It can sync with your phone/fitness watch and also allows for manual tracking.

The Miles for Millions August Challenge 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.
