Ready! Get Set! Walk!
In conjunction with Feds Get Fit, the Federal initiative focusing on wellness, you are invited to form a team and participate in the DOI walking contest! The challenge will run through December 18th. Our goal is to have 50 teams of 5 people walking a total of over 437,500,0000 steps – this is roughly equal to 5 miles (10,000 steps) every day by every participant, or a distance of over 43,750 miles! Teams (MIB and SIB employees only) will be provided pedometers to track the number of steps walked, which will be recorded and posted each week to chart progress. At the end of the five week challenge, the top three teams with the most steps walked will be awarded the following prizes:
The first place team will participate in a special walk on the National Mall and receive a $50.00 gift certificate for each member of the team.
The second place team members will each receive a $25.00 gift certificate.
The third place team members will each receive a $10.00 gift certificate.
Form your teams and register by November 13th. The challenge is limited to 50 teams of five employees on a first come, first-served basis. Registration forms can be found at: http://www.doi.gov/hrm/walkingchallenge.pdf
Registration materials and pedometers are available from Joy Buhler, the Challenge Coordinator on November 10-13 in room 5023, Main Interior Building.
