GatorCare creates monthly individual walking challenges that you can enter and compete in virtually. With each individual walking challenge, you will be competing against other participants individually, meaning your steps and your steps alone will count toward your steps on the leaderboard. In addition to the monthly individual walking challenges, twice a year in April and October, the walking challenge will be a team walking challenge. This means that you must join the challenge with a team of 2 or more people.
With both the individual and team challenges, they follow a virtual map that includes predetermined mile markers. The more steps you take in real life, the more mile markers you reach virtually and the closer you get to crossing the finish line! For any additional questions about the walking challenges, please reach out to GatorCareWellness@shands.ufl.edu.

Wander through vibrant cities, explore the floating island of Lake Titicaca, feel the mist of Iguazu Falls, and journey all the way to the windswept edge of Patagonia and Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city.
