Millions of steps logged during May Madness
The next JagFit challenge is the Jags Take June Miles Challenge. Walkers, runners and bikers can compete by logging their miles during the month of June.
More than 100 walkers logged 14.3 million steps during JagFit’s May Madness challenge, with the top individual walker, Robert Schwan of University Hospital, logging more than 1 million steps.
Among the teams, University of South Alabama main campus finished in first place with 60 walkers and 8.7 million combined steps. The top 50 walkers from this team will receive champion T-shirts. Schwan will receive a special individual grand prize yet to be determined.
JagFit launched May Madness on May 3 challenging all employees to join teams for the month-long walking competition.
