How The Challenge Works
- Participants must be a member of the WCA Group Health Trust.
- All team members must be at least 16 years old.
- During the challenge, participants will track their activity for each week. Their total points for the week will then be reported to their team leader.
- A team can have 1-4 members. There is one category, so for example, a two person team will compete against a four member team.
- A team leader is chosen to be the contact person and to report weekly team points. You can only be a team leader for one team.
