Register NOW for the last Ped Competition of the Year! May 1 -12!
Register NOW for the last round of this competition, which starts on MAY 1! You, too, may be the lucky recipient of much-needed rest and relaxation.
Here's how the competition works:
(1) REGISTER to participate in the competition by visiting the Sonic Boom website.
(2) You may join a team (2-5 people), create a team, or register as an individual.
(3) At the end of each competition, all participating striders will be entered into a raffle for a 1/2 day off if you have averaged 60 minutes of time in motion per day
(4) AND, each strider gets additional entries into the raffle for each 30 minutes additional per day above 60 minutes average per day! So, someone who averages 120 minutes a day during the competition would get 3 entries (one for the 60 minutes, and then two more)!
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! The more, the merrier!
Please note: if you cannot find your pedometer, or you need a new pedometer, please see your building Superchampion or email Dale Lumpa!
