Anesthesia Wellness Fall in Love with Running/Walking Challenge

WHO: PMG - Spokane Anesthesia Physicians and CRNAs, Anesthesia Department Admin, CRNA Students, Faculty & Admin, & Anesthesia Techs.

WHAT: A fun wellness challenge that promotes healthy activity and comradery within the Anesthesia Department. Run or walk at least 1 mile and complete 1 of the “scavenger tasks” for each 1-mile run/walk. A total of 50 “scavenger tasks” have been posted to complete during runs/walk between September and October.

WHEN: The challenge will begin on September 1, 2023, and “runs” through October 31, 2023.

WHERE: Complete run/walks and challenges in locations of your choice. You will log each completed task into RunSignup and earn a custom virtual badge for each “scavenger hunt-like” task completed on a walk/run. Then you can post pictures and activity highlights on the Anesthesia Wellness Fall in Love with Running/Walking Challenge Facebook Group page.

WHY: For fun, fitness accountability, promotion of wellness, and camaraderie within PMG Spokane Anesthesia Group

HOW: 1) Sign up for this virtual challenge on RunSignup.

2) Join the Anesthesia Wellness Fall in Love with Running/Walking Challenge Facebook Group.

3) Between Sept 1 and Oct 31 complete as many “scavenger task” challenges as you can and document completion on the RunSignup and post on the FB group. 4) Have fun with it!

RULES: 1) Each run/walk and “scavenger task” must be completed between 9/1 and 10/31.

2) Running and Walking counts.

3) All tasks should be completed during a run/walk of at least 1 mile. While you can complete multiple “scavenger tasks” during a single run/walk, you will need to complete 1 mile for each task. For example: if you are marking off 3 tasks in a single run/walk, your total distance for that run/walk must be at least 3 miles.

4) All “scavenger tasks” must be marked complete in RunSignup by clicking on the Submit Virtual Results option on the Anesthesia Wellness Fall in Love with Running/Walking Challenge event page. Detailed instructions on how to submit results can be found attached in original email.

5) This challenge is basically the honor system, but participants are highly encouraged to share photographs of their completed tasks in the Anesthesia Wellness Fall in Love with Running/Walking Facebook Group. It adds to the fun and camaraderie to see how others are tackling this challenge!
