Hop into Spring! Step Challenge
We have 18 teams and 95 steppers registered for the Hop into Spring! Challenge!
Start counting your steps on Mon, April 6 and we will start heading across Florida to visit our beautiful botanical gardens.
Each week (Mon - Sun), the team leader will add all the team members' steps and complete the TEAM Step Submission Form. Only one member needs to submit the form.
We will use the average of the total steps for the team to move your team along the map.
The scale is 2,000 steps per mile.
Let's start steppin’ !!
