Million Mile Challenge -- BikeTrip.com
Originally conceived for Fitnessrace founder Dean Rice in 2003, the Million Mile Challenge confronts obesity and other societal health issues head-on. The program challenges cities and corporations to encourage the formation of teams that participate in walking, running or biking. Teams compete against each other by racking up miles, and in doing so improve their own health and raise awareness within their communities.
The Annual National Invitational Million Mile Challenge is a nationwide fitness program for companies, organizations, and individuals provided by FitnessRace.com. The goal is to inspire better fitness and health habits, by logging at least a million miles of activity nationwide during the course of a year.
Believing that "Healthy employees are happy, more productive employees," companies and communities are encouraged to get individuals and families involved in ongoing physical activities. The Million Mile Challenge is a key part of a bigger commitment to better health in the greater community… a "corporate culture" of good health.
Why are only biking, walking or running included? These are the simplest activities, requiring very few items of equipment and only very general physical skills. Even employees with physical handicaps can participate, alongside their fellow workers, whether walking with a cane or walker, riding a wheelchair, or riding tandem on a bicycle built for two! As we worked with FitnessRace.com and considered other activities, we wanted to simplify the program so every employee could participate.
Why is the Challenge for a "Million Miles?" We could have chosen any number. Frankly, we anticipate participants will log many millions of miles nationally! A "million miles" is a figurative way of saying, "Let's get out there and do it in a big way!" Plus, it's got a special "ring" to it!
The client's unique "Fitness Tracker" program at www.FitnessRace.com allows every participant to log his or her own individual miles, so coordinating dozens of participating teams becomes a simple process. The FitnessRace site automatically tallies total activity miles for each participant and team, as well as competing companies.
There is no charge to participate in the Million Mile Challenge program. For more about the national program, visit www.millionmilechallenge.com or call 763-350-2570.
