Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register for the Get Fit Challenge?
Registering for the Get Fit Challenge is easy! Simply visit https://www.ChallengeRunner.com/login/challenge/1989/55027/88a5310868 and sign up!
Do I need a team?
No, this years challenge is individual. You can choose to manually enter active minutes or sync your fitness device to track your steps. These are 2 separate challenges this year. This is to meet the many requests we received the past 2 years to make the challenge more fair.
How are points determined?
For the minutes challenge: Each minute of exercise is 1 point. The person who has the most overall points at the end of the challenge is the winner.
For the steps challenge: Every 1,000 steps is 1 point. The person who has the most overall points at the end of the challenge is the winner.
What are some other features of Challenge Runner?
Challenge Runner allows you to link your fitness device (Fitbit, Garmin, Jawbone, etc.) to the program. By linking your fitness device, your active minutes are automatically uploaded to the website for you! If you don't have a fitness device, don't worry. You can manually input your minutes each Monday just like you have done in previous years.
When do I submit points?
Fitness trackers will automatically sync your steps to Challenge Runner.
To manually enter minutes, each participant should submit points for the previous week by Monday at 5PM. For example, minutes for Week 1 (9/5-10) are due Monday, 9/11 at 5 PM. Note: For the purpose of this competition, a week runs from Monday- Sunday. You can also enter them daily if you choose.
Is there a registration deadline?
No, you can register at any time.
