YOU'RE ALMOST TO THE FINISH LINE!


Week 8 of Miles for Wellness Challenge 32 ends Sunday, November 16. This means your final check-in is soon. Please remind your team members to send their tracking sheets to you on Monday, November 17.


Once you have received your team's step counts, update your captain's spreadsheet and complete the bi-weekly reporting form. The deadline to complete the form is Friday, November 21. Because it is the final reporting period, you have a full week to submit your steps. No exceptions will be made to accept steps after the deadline.

REPORTING ACCURATE STEPS

Please be sure your team members are accurately reporting their steps. If you are using a smartwatch, pedometer, or step-counting app while taking part in physical activities, you should not use the conversion function in the participant tracking sheet to report those steps. They are already accounted for in the number of steps your watch or pedometer reports.


Watch the participants guide video for more help on recording your steps and filling out the participant tracking sheet.


COMPLETING THE CHECK-IN FORM

Below are some helpful tips for completing the bi-weekly submission form:

  • If you cannot find your team name listed on the form, you can type it.
  • The step total you need to report can be found on your captain's spreadsheet in the blue box in the top right corner.
  • Do not use commas or decimals in your step count.
  • Do not upload your participant sheets. Please transfer all information to your captain's sheet and upload it when completing the bi-weekly check-in form.

BI-WEEKLY REPORTING FORM

Submit your team's steps for each check-in and the final deadline using the bi-weekly reporting form.


The reporting periods for each check-in are:

  • Weeks 1-8 (Final Submission): Monday, November 17-Friday, November 21
