How Far Can YOU
Go...click here to see?
1.
Sign up at the Control Desk and give yourself a "Traveler name".
This is like a nickname that we will use to publicly post the
mileage you travel
2.
When you sign-up, indicate if you are a runner/jogger, walker, or a
cyclist (new category this year!).
3. Start traveling! You may
log mileage for laps around the track (10 laps = 1 mile), on the
treadmill, or on a cycle. All mileage must be traveled in the
Alfond Athletic Center to be counted.
4.
Log the distance you travel each time you visit the Athletic Center
at the Front Desk using your "Traveler name". Distances are
recorded in 1/2 mi. (5 laps) increments.
5. Check the
chart posted outside the Director's office to SEE your progress.
Progress is updated daily. Also check on-line for
updated
mileage records.
6. Prizes will be awarded to
three individuals who travel the furthest during each semester. There will be one prize
for the top walker, one prize for the top runner/jogger,
and one for the top cyclist.
7. ALSO, for
each 5 miles you travel (10 miles for a cyclist) you will be eligible for a raffle
ticket that will be added to a drawing. At the end of
the semester, prizes will be given to participants in a drawing.
So, if you travel 20 miles this semester you will have 4
tickets entered into the drawing (2 tickets for a cyclist). The more miles traveled = the
better your chances of winning a prize!
