Perry Memorial Hospital Walking Challenge

Hello and welcome to the Perry Memorial Hospital Walking Challenge website. The purpose of this website is to help facilitate and organize hospital-wide and community-wide events and to track the associated pedometer data.

To participate in an event you will need to have and wear a pedometer for the duration of the event, and create a user account using this website. You will be expected to reset your pedometer step count to zero each morning, and record the total steps taken at the end of each day. You may use your own pedometer if you have one, or the hospital has pedometers to purchase at $5 each.

Each person participating must create his or her own account. If 2 or more people share an account, it will skew the results and give an unfair advantage. Once you create a user account, you will be able to see a list of planned events (past, present, and future), and enter your daily step counts from your pedometer. Individual standings (top 25) will show up under each event.

The following rules are enforced by this website:

• You can only enter step counts for days up to and including the current day.
• The deadline for entering step counts is 11:59 pm on the date listed as "Deadline" for an event. Once the deadline to enter step counts has passed for an event, you will not be able to enter any additional step count data for that event.
• It is possible to convert other physical activities to steps and include them in your daily step count. A conversion chart for other physical activities is available in hard copy at Perry Memorial Hospital's Human Resources Department, and online.
