Back by popular demand! We’re hosting our 2nd Annual Walk Around Illinois Steps Challenge. This time it’s Route 66 style!
Walk Around Illinois – Route 66 Style will kick off on Sunday June 1st and end Monday, June 30th. We’re starting in Chicago, IL and stepping all the way to Los Angeles, CA along the iconic Route 66.
The goal is to walk 10,000 steps per day to ensure you’ll reach the destination before the challenge ends.
We will be using the same platform we used last year. Last year, you knew it as Walker Tracker. Now, it goes by Be Well. This new and improved interactive challenge platform is brought to us by HealthLink.
Join us as we walk our way across Route 66, learning about iconic landmarks along the way!
Prizes will be given based on the following:
- A weekly prize drawing for anyone who reaches 70,000 steps (Sunday - Saturday).
- A grand prize drawing will be done at the end of the challenge. To qualify, you have to walk 10,000 steps every day of the challenge (300,000 steps total between June 1-30).
- Be sure to sync your fitness device to Be Well every day so you’re in the drawings!!
