Merry Miles

Merry Miles is our annual December FREE fun event where we encourage you to be active in a busy month to maintain your health. For the entire month of December members that sign up can win gift cards to local establishments that have supported our club in the past.

This event was designed for participation from all types of people, from walkers to runners, adults to kids. You are able to record miles by walking, running, indoors or outdoors, or on an elliptical. There are tiers, so the walkers that may earn only 1 or 2 chances will not feel like the higher mileage people who have 3 or 4 or even more chances in the basket will win all the prizes. This is to motivate you during what would be a busy time of the year. So, you can get your miles in the outdoors or indoors on a track or even treadmill, and even elliptical. About the only way we are not counting miles is by bike. 

When you reach 25k (15.53 miles) your name will be entered on the wheel of names, when you reach 50k (31.06 miles) your name will go on a second time, then another at 75k (46.6 miles) and again another ticket at 100k (62.13 miles) and so on. Since we had some that really racked up the miles last few years, a 3rd tier was added. That tier being over 200k (124.27 miles), 225k (139.81 miles), and 250k (155.34 miles). We have been able maintain a 70% chance of winners in each tier, but the prizes may have a few that are valued being higher. 

The “Top Earner” will be drawn to win automatically for the one with the most miles in 1 month. List of prizes will be numbered and the number drawn is their prize.

We will have bonus days (double of the reported miles). Knowing people will be the busiest Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, any miles you get those days will double. So, if you get 2 miles Christmas Eve, put in 2 and the sheet will add an additional 2 miles. Each year the social committee hosts a FREE Christmas Light fun run. You will be able to TRIPLE your miles that day for the ones that show up to run OR socialize. But must make an appearance to triple your miles. This is all in fun and hopes that people are motivated to get a few miles recorded on a couple of days that is usually occupied with other priorities. 

Once you win a prize your name is removed as we want to see more winners.
