What to track? |
The challenge is open to all organizations, schools, sport groups and workplaces to participate and track minutes as a team. All group physical activity counts. Track group exercise classes, practices, events or even lunchtime walks starting June 1.
Every minute tracked goes toward your community’s score and adds to the Pelham June 30 for 30 challenge! |
What are move minutes? |
Move minutes are the time during which an individual engages in either active or light physical activity. An individual’s valid move minutes will count towards the June 30 for 30 Challenge. This includes movement from synced fitness trackers to the ParticipACTION App such as Apple Health or Google Fit, as well as any manually tracked activity on the App or on the ParticipACTION website.
Move minutes can accumulate individually or through community events, groups or associations. Any group physical activity can be tracked by the organization. By way of example, ongoing recreation activities such as a group fitness class at a recreation centre, an outdoor hike, a school gym class or an individual challenge to participants such as biking throughout the month of June are all eligible for tracking. |
What activity counts? |
The goal of the Community Better Challenge and Pelham's own June 30 for 30 is to get the community moving with others from across Canada! As a result, we haven’t set parameters on how intense your activity needs to be. From walking to the grocery store to backyard spring cleaning, we want you to track it all!
In terms of duration, every minute counts! The shortest duration of activity you can track is one minute, while the longest is 180 minutes. |
We would like to participate as a school/group? How do we join in? |
