What is a Walking Ambassador?
We’re not looking for people that “have it all” together. We are looking for fun, cheerful and encouraging people that have a heart to help others get moving and walk. People who love to walk and want to help others to discover the benefits of simply walking.
Ambassador requirements:
- Available to lead a walking group on a weekly or by-weekly basis
- Walking Ambassadors support all of The Goose Chase events (in-person and virtual) by either walking, running or simply promoting online.
- Blogging, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat and tweeting regularly (at least 3x per month on one or all platforms) about upcoming race news from The Goose Chase. Each week we will have various ideas for you to post and share, but be creative and have fun with this!
- Through any of the above platforms, we want our ambassadors to encourage people to continue and complete the walking challenge throughout the monthly challenges by posting testimonials and photos/videos.
