Registration Dates: Sept. 17 – Nov. 11
Challenge Dates: Oct. 1 – Nov. 11
With (finally!) cooler temperatures and beautiful colors, October is the perfect time to take a walk or a hike. Walking is the perfect activity for any fitness level, so let’s make it a habit for all year ‘round. You earn one leaf a day based on the number of steps you take each day, and your goal is to earn a total of 30 leaves or more.
Print the Walktober flyer to hang around the county offices.
How to Complete the Challenge
Participants can earn credit for this six-week challenge by earning 30 total leaves. You can earn one leaf a day by logging 6,000 steps. Log 6,000 steps a day, five days a week for six weeks to collect 30 leaves and complete the challenge. You will NOT be automatically entered into the challenge.
