City of Auburn Step Challenge 2020

The City of Auburn Step Challenge 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 on a race map, the starting location is the CityCare of Auburn clinic, the finish line is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Gatlinburg,TN. Although unlikely anyone will reach this point in the six week time period whoever has traveled the farthest on the map will win the challenge. Anyone who does reach the finish line will be considered a 1st place winner. The goal is to be the furthest along on the map at the end of the six week challenge. There are 3 landmark milestones along the way, if you reach these you will be put in for a prize drawing.

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. At the conclusion of six weeks, the participants who have traveled the farthest on the map with the top three recorded steps will be awarded the following:

1. First Place - Prize worth up to $125
2. Second Place  - Prize worth up to $75
3. Third Place - Prize worth up to $50

In addition, every participant who reaches each landmark milestone set will be put in for a prize drawing. If you reach each milestone you will be put in for all of the drawings. These milestones are located along the map on the way to Gatlinburg, locations include the Georgia Aquarium, Downtown Greenville, SC, and Downtown Charlotte, NC.

The Walking Challenge with Fitness Trackers has the following characteristics:

• In the leaderboard/map each participant is able to see where they stand in relation to other participants.
• Devices should be synced every day; however, participants may take up to five 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.
