What is The Invitational?

Physical fitness is important to one’s well-being. One way to improve your physical fitness is to keep active. The Invitational is a weekly team-based competition designed to help you improve your physical fitness, specifically the number of steps you take on a daily basis, while having fun.

You will be part of a five-person team that competes against a new team each week for five consecutive weeks. The team with the most steps each week is the weekly winner.
