CHALLENGE 32 IS UNDERWAY!

Team captains,

Are you ready to get moving this fall? Better yet, are you prepared to help motivate your teammates and colleagues to make strides toward leading healthier lives in this statewide challenge with a fitness at the fairgrounds theme?

Your virtual adventure along a cross-country trail of state fairs runs today through Sunday, November 16, 2025.

KICKOFF REMINDERS

• Be sure every member of your team has completed and returned the liability waiver form. Once you've collected them all, simply save them somewhere easily accessible to you throughout the duration of the challenge—no need to turn them in.
• Share the participant tracking sheet with each team member.
• Mark your calendars for the first check-in deadline on Wednesday, October 8 and refer to the resources below to make leading your teammates easier.
• Captains can make additions and substitutions on their rosters until the first submission deadline, at which time rosters are set for the duration of the challenge. Resubmit the online registration form with an up-to-date copy of your captain's spreadsheet to make additions and substitutions during that time.

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 1-2: Monday, October 6-Wednesday, October 8
• Weeks 1-4: Monday, October 20-Wednesday, October 22
• Weeks 1-6: Monday, November 3-Wednesday, November 5
• Weeks 1-8 (Final Submission): Monday, November 17-Friday, November 21

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACKING SHEET

Not sure how to use your captain's spreadsheet? The video here can help. We also have a video to help your team members use the participant tracking sheet and directions for converting other exercises to steps. NOTE: The dates in the training videos are examples from a past challenge, not the reporting dates for Challenge 32.
