Walktober is a FREE, 31 day wellness challenge designed to motivate students, staff, families and the community to become more active. October is a great month for walking due to mild weather and the beautiful changing colors. This is the perfect opportunity for you, your friends and your family to incorporate walking into your daily routine.
How does the challenge work? Starting October 1st, your goal is to walk a minimum of 30 minutes every day. For every day you walk at least 30 minutes, you earn a “leaf”. In order to be eligible to win the grand prizes, you will need to earn 23 or more leaves for the entire month!
How Do I Keep Track of My Leaves? The official scorecard can be downloaded here or at the bottom of this webpage. The directions are listed on the scorecard.
Do I have to walk? No, the minimum intensity level is a walk. If you want to jog/run instead of walk, that is acceptable.
What if weather is bad and I can’t walk outside? If the weather is bad, you may perform 30 minutes of exercise indoors instead of walking outside that day.
