Walktober: Walking/Running Challenge for Faculty & Professional Staff
Start Date: 9/22/2015 All Day
End Date: 10/8/2015

Event Description

What could be easier, or more popular, than walking? Walking is low-impact, easy and inexpensive; all you need is a good pair of shoes.

A Healthier U would like to invite all faculty and professional staff to get involved with our latest online physical activity challenge — Walktober. This inspiring campaign will help you enhance your health and well-being all through the month of October, and beyond.

 

Walking has multiple health benefits, including better weight control, improved sleep, more energy, emotional/psychological/mental lift and a decreased risk for many chronic conditions. 

Tracking your daily walking or running minutes in our online Walktober system is simple and fun. Your goal in Walktober is to log at least 30 minutes of walking and/or running for at least 20 of the 31 days of this challenge. Delicious recipes, great incentives, inspiring articles and motivating daily emails help you keep moving. Walktober also features a mobile app that helps you track your walking or running minutes on the go.

Every individual who completes the challenge of walking or running at least 20 days of the challenge for at least 30 minutes a day will receive a $15 gift card directly from Health Enhancement Systems. Members of the top team of 4-10 members will receive a fitbit. 

Sign up for Walktober today. Registration is open for faculty and professional staff beginning on September 22, 2015, and you can begin logging minutes on October 1. Registration ends on October 8. The last day of the Walktober competition will be October 31.

Sign-up today at http://drexel.walktober.com/ and invite your friends and colleagues to form a team. Get ready to step up towards a healthier, happier you. If you have questions about Walktober, please contact Monica Fauble, Program Coordinator for A Healthier U: mfauble@drexel.edu
