Stronger Together Challenge with The Student Recreation Center at South Alabama 

Begins Tuesday, January 21st, 2025

Stronger Together is a campaign partnership with JagFit Wellness and the Student Recreation Center to encourage community, commitment, and a little competition! Through the Spring semester (January to April), members of the Student Recreation Center will be awarded points and prizes throughout the semester for checking into the Student Recreation Center. Participants will also be encouraged to participate in group challenges with different objectives for each month. These "small groups" are intended to create a community with other members based on the time of day participants choose to do their daily workout! Participants must be members of the Student Recreation Center.

Team Step Challenge (Click here to sign up

The Team Step Challenge will promote wellness by encouraging participants to walk more often during the day. Participants may use supported activity tracking devices to record the number of daily steps taken and transmit this number into the ChallengeRunner.com system. The totals of those steps are then compared against one another and a real-time leaderboard is made available. 

This challenge will run from November 1st to 30th. At the conclusion, the top three teams will receive: 

  1. JagFit Crewneck Sweatshirts, JagFit T-Shirt, & JagFit Water Bottle 
  2. JagFit T-Shirt & JagFit Water Bottle 
  3. JagFit T-Shirt 

In addition, the top 3 overall individual participants will receive a JagFit gym bag & JagFit Water Bottle. 

Challenge Rules: 

 

  • Teams will be challenged to complete a certain amount of steps per team weekly. 
  • Weekly steps are due on Saturdays at 11:59pm. 
  • Participants will need to download the Challenge Runner App but will be able to manually enter steps if they do not use a wearable device. 
  • Teams are limited to 10 participants per team. 
  • The first person that signs up the team will be designated the team captain. Additional members will just need to select that team name from the list of teams to join.
