MONTEREY COUNTY – Have you joined the “Move It Monterey County Spring Challenge?” It not, there’s still time! Join the challenge now for the opportunity to win prizes valued at more than $7,000 by moving your body in the annual spring challenge presented by the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC), Blue Zones Project Monterey County and the Monterey Youth Museum.
The Move It Monterey County Spring Challenge, presented by the Transportation Agency’s Go831 Smart Commute and Safe Routes to School programs, is to encourage community members to get outdoors and move their bodies. It’s not too late to create your own activity, or join a Blue Zones Project “walking moai,” or activity sponsored by My Museum. The Challenge began on April 1 and will end on Friday, May 5, 2023. Anyone who enters, even on this date as an opportunity to win prizes.
Commuters traveling to and from work can also join the Challenge to help reduce traffic, greenhouse gas emissions and promote healthier lifestyles by telecommuting, carpooling, walking, biking, riding transit or a combination of any of these options instead of driving alone. Every participant who registers for the Challenge has the opportunity to win prizes valued at more than $7,000.
Prizes can be won during individual, team, employer, and school competitions. They include gift cards to local businesses, bicycles, scooters, scooter/bike racks and an electric bike to use as a company vehicle for the winning worksite. Each participant who completes and tracks at least two eligible trips during the challenge will be automatically entered into a random drawing to win a brand-new bike.
Individuals, teams, schools, worksites, families, and friends can register for the “Move It Monterey County Spring Challenge”, through the Transportation Agency’s Go831 program. Once registered, participants can use the RideAmigos or Strava apps to log their trips at least once a week.
Three quick easy steps to register:
Participants must first register online at go831.rideamigos.com using their personal, work or student email OR a QR code distributed by their employer or school.
Bike, walk, take a bus, or carpool to work, school, to shops or just for fun (bike and walk trips get double points!) You can even get credit for skipping the trip and teleworking instead! To get credit for their points earned, participants must track them on the go831.rideamigos.com platform or by downloading and using the CommuteTrack app by Rideamigos, or the Strava app.
Winners of the Move It Monterey County Challenge will be announced in June.
