FAQ’s

How do I get entered into the drawing?
Each day that you cover at least 1 mile, you submt a log form letting us know. If you complete that mile at the Campus Rec, upload a selfie for that day and we will give you an extra entry into the drawing.

What if I cannot get outside to cover the distance?
We encourage you to get creative. Maybe you can walk laps around your house, your backyard or use a treadmill/stationary bike/elliptical. If you have specific questions about if a specific activity would work, give us a call (217) 581-3967.
