School's Out Fitness Challenge

DUE TO SEVERE IMPACTS ON OUR BUSINESS, WE NO LONGER HAVE STAFF TO MANAGE THIS EVENT. WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT WE HAVE TO CANCEL THIS VIRTUAL CHALLENGE. IF YOU REGISTERED FOR THIS CHALLENGE YOUR REGISTRATION FEE WILL BE REFUNDED.

Challenge yourself to see how many minutes of exercise you can complete during the school closure time in Washington state. Plus help raise money for Jubilee REACH who provide crucial support to students in Bellevue schools in normal times and in these challenging times. Similar to our Northwest Winter Challenge events, the School's Out Fitness Challenge is a contest to see who can exercise the most minutes from Monday, March 23 to Friday, April 24, or until schools reopen in Washington State. The difference is that instead of counting running/walking miles, participants count any exercise in minutes. Walking, running, yoga, weight lifting, jump rope - virtually anything counts!

How it works:

Log your exercise in the Raceday app

We’ll keep track of your daily minutes. Each day, sign in via the Raceday website (racemenu.com/raceday), or on the RaceMenu Raceday iOS mobile app (which you can download from the App Store).

You'll have four days to log each daily activity. For example, you have until 11:59 pm on April 5th to log your April 1st activity. Daily Log Instructions

Join the team challenge for extra bragging rights

The School's Out Fitness Challenge is much more fun when you create a team and get your friends and family involved. There's strength in numbers because the total mileage for all team members determines your team's ranking on the leaderboard.

Prize Raffles

Like with the Northwest Winter Challenge, we have a great pile of prizes to award all month long. Some prizes will be awarded to randomly selected participants, while others will be awarded to creative #schoolsoutchallenge posts on social media. Share your posts with us on the Facebook Event Page, and Instagram (@northwestchallenge).

Order your shirt, and get your name on it.

We will have commemorative gear with the name of each School's Out Fitness Challenge Participant on the back. You'll purchase the long sleeve shirt or cozy hoodie as part of the registration process.

If you do not initially order a t-shirt, sweatshirt during registration you will be able to order one after registration. The deadline will be mid-April, 2020 (actual date TBD). To order a shirt, go to the registration page and select: "Shirts, Shipping & Donations Only" and it will take your shirt order.
