WALTOBER FINAL FLYER 1

Walktober is a free,聽monthlong聽initiative聽and competition sponsored by Health Monday 黑料不打烊 and the University Wellness Initiative聽that encourages聽students, faculty,聽staff and family members of SU employees聽to step outside and take聽a walk.

The event聽welcomes walkers, joggers, rollers, cyclist and all in between to track their physical activity from Oct. 1-31.聽Participants can stay motivated by viewing their聽progress, supporting their team members and fellow participants, and sharing their success stories. For further motivation, rewards will be offered to those who are聽most active and engage.

Participants can track their physical activity each week and are encouraged to challenge themselves with weekly goals using online tools on the Walktober聽and mobile app. The聽goal is to accumulate聽Walktober聽leaves by recording walking and other physical activity each day: 30-44 minutes (6000-7999 steps) equals a red leaf; 45-59 minutes (8000-9999 steps) earns an orange leaf; and 60-plus minutes (10,000+ steps) gains a gold leaf.

Any combination of red, orange or gold counts toward the goal of 20 leaves for the 31-day program.聽Individuals and teams are聽also encouraged to聽use the various聽聽across campus, the City of 黑料不打烊 and聽Onondaga聽County.

To kickoff the event,聽Healthy Monday is hosting a kickstart on Sept. 18 from 12-2 on聽the Shaw Quad.聽The kickoff will allow聽future participants to聽register, eat,聽win prizes and get a T-shirt.

Following, every Monday聽of the month (Oct. 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30)聽all are聽welcome聽to join the聽Healthy Monday staff聽for a Monday Mile walk around campus.聽The walk will start at noon in front of Schine Student Center.

All are welcome to聽register at聽聽starting Sept. 18.
