Human Powered Transportation Challenge

During the month of June, we CHALLENGE YOU to get to the gym as much as possible without driving your vehicle! This means walking, running, biking, unicycling, scootering, piggy-back riding, pogo-sticking, jump roping, etc. etc.

No, driving your Tesla doesn’t count. Neither do segways, one-wheels, electric bikes and scooters, etc. This is a HUMAN POWERED challenge, meaning your body must be your motor in order to qualify.

HOW IT WORKS

You earn raffle tickets for traveling the following distances (one way):

• 0-5 miles earns 1 ticket
• 5 – 10 miles earns 3 tickets
• 10+ miles earns 5 tickets

You can earn 5 BONUS tickets for the following (one winner for each category):

• Most creative method of travel. Must take a photo and tag us on social media (@centralrockrochester) to qualify for this one!
• Longest single distance traveled
• Most frequent visits to the gym
