Description:

Invited members of the MUSC community will form teams of 6-12 people and designate a captain. The team captain will register the team, send invites to their teammates to log in, and encourage participation through goal-setting and overall cheerleading.  

Steps will be entered through one of the methods below into challengerunner.com.  The program averages the total steps per month for the entire team (walked/run) divided by the number of teammates, to help make the teams more equitable.  A ceiling of 20,000 steps per person per day will be set to help eliminate outliers from over-weighting the results. Steps count (either walked or run) if they are “purposeful activity requiring physical effort, carried out especially to sustain or improve health and fitness.”

The team with the most steps as of May 27 wins! Participants can log their steps using 

  • Web-based fitness trackers that integrate with Challenge Runner (once authorized such as Fit Bit)
  • Applications: challenge runner, Moves, other Smart Phone options
  • Text manual calculation to Challenge Runner (first register the cell phone number being used so that Challenge Runner recognizes the text)
  • Log on to the website and enter the steps manually
  • Download the Challenge Runner app and enter steps manually
