Terry Fox Marathon of Hope
Registration Starts: Monday May 4
Challenge Runs: Monday May 11 - Tuesday June 9
In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope, the Seneca Community (all staff, students and alumni) is invited to join in a 30-day challenge to walk, run and step to virtually travel from St. John’s to Thunder Bay. Terry traveled 5373KM or 7,061,181 steps. The overall goals is to try to get there together as a group. There will be weekly individual distance/step goals for participants with varying levels of activity. There are goals for those who are not active now, but want to get started to those who want to be Terry. The point is to get moving, get outdoors (while practicing physical distancing) and accumulate the distance/steps to achieve individual weekly goals and the overall group goal.
Participants will use the Walker Tracker App to track their distance or steps. It is compatible with most wireless devices and Smartphone Apps and has an activity convertor enter walk and run time to calculate steps.
Register for the challenge in the Walker Tracker step challenge app link provided.

Every week, participants have a chance to win one of two $10 Tim Horton’s e-Gift cards by random draw.
At end of the challenge the top three females and top three males who accumulate the most distance will receive a Visa e-Gift card; $75 (1st Place), $50 (2nd Place), $25 (3rd Place).
