Organiser's Description
WHAT IS THE DRIVE LESS, MOVE MORE SEWARD CHALLENGE?
In an effort to celebrate Earth Day every day and increase our awareness of our environmental impact, the Seward Parks and Recreation department is hosting the 2025 Drive Less, Move More Challenge! This challenge asks you to reduce your driving and CO2 emissions by walking, running, or biking to your destination instead of driving this summer. The challenge will be held from April 22th through August 31st.
Can you bike to work 1-2 times a week? Can you walk to your friends house a few miles away? What about getting a run in to pick up something from the store?
Research has shown that simply monitoring and remaining conscious about how much you drive helps you reduce the number of drives you take and your total mileage, thus reducing your carbon footprint!
HOW DO YOU RECORD YOUR MILES FOR THE DRIVE LESS, MOVE MORE CHALLENGE?
For this virtual challenge, each time you elect to walk, run, or bike to your destination instead of driving, you will input an entry of your mileage using the RunSignUp platform. Additionally, we also ask that you keep track of this mileage using a tracking app such as, MapMyRun (free), SportsTracker (free) or GaiaGPS. For each entry, you need to upload a screenshot of your recorded track to RunSignUp so that we can validate your entry. Screenshots should include the date, mileage and either average speed or duration.
Categories & Prizes
You can choose to enter the virtual challenge as either a biker or as a runner/walker. PRIZES WILL BE REWARDED TO THE TOP CHALLENGERS WHO HAVE COMPLETED THE MOST MILES BIKING (FOR THOSE COMPETING IN THE BIKER CATEGORY), OR RUNNING/WALKING (FOR THOSE COMPETING IN THE RUNNER/WALKER CATEGORY) BETWEEN APRIL 22TH AND AUGUST 31ST, 2025.
