About the Walk & Ride Challenge
The mission of this annual event is to encourage Bethesda employees to realize how easy it is to incorporate exercise into your daily routine when you consider alternative commute modes other than driving alone and sitting in traffic. The Challenge encourages everyone to get out of their car, take transit and get walking. Get fit just by going to work!
Who: All downtown Bethesda based companies and their employees
When: September 7 - 25, 2009
What You Do: With a pedometer we will provide you and your teammates, you'll track the amount of steps you take each day and enter them into our online log. You'll be able to watch your team's progress and check yourselves against other participating teams.
Where: Everywhere! To and from the Metro station, to and from the bus stop, to and from work - and everywhere in between! Walk to a new restaurant for lunch, or if you brought food from home, go out for a long walk instead of working at your desk while you eat.
Walking and transit is an ideal combination. You might not live close enough to your job to walk to work. So, ride Metrorail and walk from the Metro station to your workplace.
What You Could Get: Each week, participants walking more than 50,000 steps will be entered into a drawing to win great prizes, including a new iPod!
The Grand Prize: Presented at the 2009 Taste of Bethesda, the team with the most logged steps will receive:
- $100 Visa Gift Card
- $50 in SmartBenefits
- $25 gift certificate from RNJ Sports
BTS will be distributing information via mail and email to all transit benefits coordinators for businesses located in downtown Bethesda.
