Walk & Ride Registration Ends Tomorrow!

Wednesday, September 30 is the last day to register your team for Bethesda Transportation Solutions’ Annual Walk & Ride Challenge!
 
To participate in the Challenge, we have everyone form teams of no more than 5, give the participants pedometers, and have them compete to see which top 3 teams  have taken the most steps between October 4 through October 24. Prizes are awarded throughout the three-week challenge, and the grand prizes are awarded at the end! Click here to register your team!
 
 
Each week, everyone will have a chance to win. 
  • Log 25,000 steps in a week and you are automatically entered into a random drawing for "grab bag" prizes (examples: BTS gear; gift cards to local retailers and restaurants; and more!)  
  • Log 50,000 steps in a week and you are automatically entered into a random drawing for an Amazon Kindle!
  • And finally, be sure to keep a look out for weekly surprise challenges, awards or giveaways!  More details coming soon.
Don't delay! Register today at https://www.walkandride.net/register/bethesda.
