Week 6 Points Due May 22
The WCA Group Health Trust (GHT) fitness challenge will end on May 19. Congratulations to all of the participants. Remember your week 6 points are due by 4:00 pm on Tuesday, May 22. If you missed reporting any of your previous points, you can still do that. Just be sure to select the correct week!
Below are the 20 teams randomly chosen from the week 5 results.
See Week 5 winners here. And don't forget to send us pictures of what you are doing to be active!
Please remember all of the points reported are on the honor system. We ask that everyone be honest so the challenge is fair and fun for everyone.
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.
Team Leader
Each team will designate one member as the team leader. This person will act as the main contact to the GHT. The team leader is responsible for submitting team rosters and informing the GHT of any changes, collecting and reporting the team's points, and distributing mailings and prizes.
All team scores will be tracked by the team leader's name so for that reason a person can only be a team leader for one team and it is suggested that the team leader is a member of the team.
As team leader the most important responsibility is to submit your team's weekly point totals. To be eligible for the weekly prize drawing, team points are due on Tuesday by 4:00 p.m. That means Week 2 points are due on April 24. To submit your team's points please click here.
