Ever dreamed of climbing Machu Picchu? Or roaming along the Great Wall of China? Well, globetrotters — the Virgin Pulse “Walk the Wonders” challenge is for you. Gather a team, boost your steps and explore the New Seven Wonders of the World together. Participants who average at least 7,000 steps daily during the challenge earn 1,000 Virgin Pulse points — just in time, as Argonne’s Incentivized Wellness Program ends Sept. 30, 2018.
We will start by exploring some of Argonne’s own wonders. The challenge kicks off with the Aug. 29 fun run and walk.
Active at Argonne is a campus-wide activity challenge hosted by Virgin Pulse. The competition runs Wednesday, Aug. 29, through Friday, Sept. 21, 2018. You’ll have until Sunday, Sept. 23 to upload your steps.
Who
- Teams can have up to eight players. The more, the better.
- Low on points? Join to push yourself to earn more this month. Remember, Argonne’s Incentivized Wellness Program year ends on Sept. 30.
- High achiever? Even if you don’t need the points, get out that tracker again and compete to win amazing ribbons, shiny trophies and lots of bragging rights.
How
- Team scores are based on total steps. Rack up the most to win.
- Try to unlock each destination by contributing steps to your team. If you do, keep walking. Another team could sneak past you on the leaderboard.
- You can get credit for 30,000 steps a day (aim high).
- Self-entered steps via the step converter count towards the challenge (be honest), but don’t translate directly into Virgin Pulse points.
