Time Frame
This may vary depending on the number of participants. We will mimic that March Madness schedule (starts week of March 18) the best we can. Please sign up by midnight on March 13. Selection Sunday is March 16th. We will have the bracket ready and we will be hosting a Facebook Live and announcing where you will be placed in the bracket. We would encourage you to tune in and invite your friends. We will announce the time the week of March 10th.
Each week, the person with the most miles will advance to the next round. This will continue until we have a champion.
Please note, we have 2 categories. One for walkers and one for runners.
There are a number of walking and running groups in our community. Please feel free to join them for an extra push.
Where or how do I submit my mileage?
Due to the nature of this competition, we must be more rigid in verifying results. To ensure accuracy, we require you to take a screenshot or photo of your device after each workout and text it to us at 423-946-0519. Please state your name in the first text for us to be able to identify the phone number. We request that you submit your “workout” or “exercise” time and not your daily steps. Thank you for your cooperation!
