Tufts University community members are invited to take the Trek to Talloires! Your voluntary participation in this challenge gives you another great opportunity to improve and maintain better overall health as a component of the Healthy @ Tufts wellness initiative. In the past two years more than 2100 Trekkers logged over 125,000 hours of exercise in the 14 weeks of mid-winter and early spring.How do I participate?
It's simple: log your daily activity online and watch your progress along a virtual route from Medford to Talloires. If you have been a supporter of the President's Marathon Challenge through sponsorships of students, friends, or colleagues you know how valuable that support can be. Now take a more active role by exercising your way virtually all the way to Talloires! Join us. Take the Trek!Join by creating a username and password on the sign up page and begin logging your everyday physical activities. Whether you walk, ski, shovel – anything you do counts! You can make multiple entries per day. For instance, you might start the morning by swimming 30 minutes with President Monaco and later walk 15 minutes to the grocery store to pick up some milk, or food for the dog.
Sign up and choose from one of five time goals for your personal hundred day challenge (30, 45, 60, 90, or 120 minutes per day). Your goal determines your route from Medford to Talloires. Everyone starts together and finishes together in April, as long as they complete their routes. Some will go more directly and some will meander. It's all about the daily pace and the total activiity logged.
