The Movement: WALKTOBER

Walktober is a month-long challenge to determine which employee covers the greatest distance during the month of October. Any tracking device will qualify you for this event. Participants may use any fitness tracker or smartphone to document mileage.

This year our competition will feature three levels.

Lightly Active=This level includes athletes who complete light to moderate exercise 2-3 times per week. Runners are NOT included in this level, strictly walkers and beginner exercisers.
Active=This level includes athletes who are occasional runners and regular exercisers. Running isn't your primary focus, but you may include a few miles in your week. No more than 10 miles of running per week is allowed in this level.
Very Active=This level includes athletes who include running or walking as a regular part of their exercise routine. Weekly distance can exceed 10 miles. If you devote time each week for walking or running a distance of greater than 10 miles you should compete at this level.

The competition will begin October 1st and finish up on Oct. 31st. You will log your mileage each week on the same form used for Patriot Points.

Mileage Dates	Enter MIleage
Entry 1 (Oct. 1-Oct. 9)	Report on Oct. 10
Entry 2 (Oct. 10-Oct. 16)	Report on Oct. 17
Entry 3 (Oct. 17-Oct.-Oct. 23)	Report on Oct. 24
Entry 4 (Oct. 24-Oct. 31)	Report on Nov. 1

Once you determine your level as Lightly Active, Active or Advanced you are committed to that level. As the competition director, I will make adjustments if I see that someone is covering a distance that qualifies them for a higher level. This will allow Walktober to be competitive at all three levels. We will have awards for the winner of each category and each competitor can earn badges along the way!

Make October your month to challenge yourself and have fun while competing against co-workers.

Walk it out!!
