Step To It!  April 23–May 20, 2012

Step to It logo

Do you want a fun and easy way to get in shape this spring? Then the four-week Step To It Challenge from April 23–May 20 is for you!

Show your pride, with friends at your side!

The challenge is a fun, light-hearted way to connect with family, friends, and neighbors and get moving again after a long winter. Twenty-two cities will compete to see which one has the most active residents.

How does it work?

As a Step To It participant, you will keep a running total of the steps you take during the challenge using a pedometer or the online activity conversion chart. Other activities such as biking, skateboarding, Tai Chi, or even just mowing the lawn can also count toward overall steps. The Step To It Challenge website will allow you to record your steps online. Best of all, it’s FREE to participate!

To register, go to www.steptoit.org.

Prizes

Five individual participants from each city will be awarded two tickets each to a Minnesota Twins home game based on the following criteria:

  • One individual will win "Most Steps Accumulated"
  • Four individuals will be drawn at random from a list of those participants who recorded steps in all four weeks

In addition, ten youth aged 17 and younger will be awarded two tickets each to a Minnesota Twins home game through a random drawing of all youth participants.

Your participation also helps Hopkins compete for "Most Steps Walked" or "Highest Average Number of Steps per Resident" awards in competition with the other participating cities.
