Early results show that many teams have sprinted out of the blocks in the UNMC Walks to the Olympics challenge.

In just a few days, several teams already have amassed more than 400,000 steps.

The first rankings of the challenge will be published in next week’s Wellness Wednesday.

Need a team?

There are several walkers on campus who would like to join a team.

If you are walker in search of a team or a team who would like additional walkers, send an email to cfhladmin@unmc.edu, with subject lines of “Walker in need of team” or “Team wants walkers.”

Also, keep in mind that you can start walking teams at any point during the challenge.

Teams are limited to 20 participants. Download a team registration form or call the Center for Healthy Living front desk at 402-559-5254 to have one emailed, faxed or routed to you through inter-campus mail.
