2018 Challenge Dates: March 12 - May 6

Do you want to get started on the path to lifetime wellness through physical activity? Are you already physically active but wanting to up your game? Have you talked about starting to exercise with family, friends or co-workers? Whatever your current fitness level, join UT Extension's Walk Across Tennessee to get started.

What's the challenge?

  • Teams have 4 members.
  • The team selects a captain who reports for the team each week. A co-captain is optional.
  • Teams will be categorized as beginner, intermediate, or advanced based on the average time team members' currently spend in intentional physical activity.
  • Team's can set their own mileage goals, but the general idea is to walk or exercise the equivalent of the length of Tennessee (about 500 miles). 
  • Here's a link to the online mileage calculator​. This is a printable mileage conversion chart.

How does the team register?

 
  • There are two ways to register--online and paper. Those forms are available at the links in orange near the top of this page.
  • Team captain should complete a team form.
  • Each team member registers for liability purposes.
  • For online registration:
    • You will know the form is accepted when you get a "thank you" message after clicking "accept". 
  • ​For paper registration:
    • ​One person should mail or bring the team and 4 individual registration forms to UT-TSU Extension, 309 N. Parkway, Jackson, TN 38305. 
    • These forms can also be faxed together to 731-668-8440;​ or scanned and emailed to aelizer@utk.edu.​

??Are there any rules

  • Team registration closes Friday, March 9 at 5 p.m. If all members' registrations are not in at that time, they must be in by Friday, March 16 or they will not be counted.
  • Only intential physical activity should be included in the totals.
  • Steps taken throughout the day should NOT be counted.
  • Teams must report each week or they forfeit those miles. This is why it may be helpful to have a co-captain.
  • Mileage must be reported by 5 p.m. on Mondays--starting March 19--to be included in the weekly report.
  • Here's a link to the complete guidelines​.
