It’s Here!  Registration for the Healthy St. Lucie Coalition Billion Steps Challenge is now open!

REGISTRATION

You can click HERE to register from your desktop or mobile device.

INDIVIDUAL or TEAM?

When you register, you will set up your individual account.  From there you can fly solo, or form a team with your friends, neighbors, family, or work buddies.

TRACKING YOUR STEPS

After you register, you will be asked if you have a wireless device (like a Fitbit, Garmin, Jawbone or other wireless device) you want to pair with your Walker Tracker account.  If you do choose to pair your device, your daily steps will sync automatically.  If not, you can select to enter your steps manually.

DON’T LIKE WALKING? 

Don’t worry-you can still participate in the challenge!  The online platform we are using has over 100 different types of physical activity to choose from. Just choose your favorite form of physical activity, enter the number of minutes you performed that activity, and the system will automatically convert your activity of choice into steps for the challenge. It’s that easy!

FREE LAUNCH EVENT

We will be participating in the Treasure Coast Fit Festival on January 13, 2018 at the Port St. Lucie Civic Center.  Check-in at 7 AM for the 8 AM 5K walk/run to firm up your resolution to be more active this year.  To register for the 5K walk/run and find out more about this event, click HERE.

We look forward to getting fit with you!
