CHALLENGE 30 ENDS SOON!

Captains, week 8 of Miles for Wellness Challenge 30 ends this Sunday, November 17. This means your final check-in is soon. Please remind your team members to send their tracking sheets to you on Monday, November 18.

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 by end of day on Wednesday, November 20.

If you do not complete the form by the deadline, your team will not be listed on the final rankings sheet.

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's spreadsheet to report those steps; they're already accounted for in the number of steps your watch or pedometer reports. For more help on filling out the participant's spreadsheet, find directions here.

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 in.
• 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 submit your participant sheets; you should 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 the final deadline using the bi-weekly reporting form.

The final reporting period is:
