Christian Help Winter Step-A-thon 2024

Join Paul the Apostle on his first missionary journey, and lead your team to victory! This is a team-based, charity, virtual month-long race that is measured in steps, not miles. This is a GREAT way to:

• Prepare for your spring race schedule
• Meet your New Years Resolutions
• Participate in Team Building for your company or club

Have Fun! Get Fit! Support a worthy cause!

Teams of four aggregate steps (think Fitbit tracking) weekly across the month of February and report them to Christian Help. The journey's milestones are:

Cyprus – 200K collective steps​
Pamphylia – 500K collective steps​
Phrygia – 750K collective steps​
Lycaonia – 1 Million collective steps​
Antioch – 1.5 Million collective steps​

(Your average stay-at-home parent with a busy toddler logs 80,000+ steps a week!)

Teams can either compete for the podium (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) or compete against themselves to reach the final milestone.

FAQ:

  • For this event, we do not offer refunds. This is a charity event where all the proceeds go to support our mission to support the emergency needs of members of our community.
• Where do I go to get my steps?​
  • This is a virtual event, so you can accumulate steps virtually anywhere (see what I did there?). You can get your steps in at home, at work, on a treadmill, around the block, at another, in-person race, or even at the mall. ​
• How do I track my steps?​
  • We recommend using a pedometer. Most smartwatches include this as part of their functionality. Some devices specifically track steps which are not smart watches.​
