My work did a walking challenge - everyone who participated got a pedometer and you tracked your steps every day for about three months - the goal was to walk the distance from our offices in Calgary to our mine north of Fort McMurray. Prizes were given for different distances achieved - Edmonton, Fort Mac, the mine, etc. I can't recall if there was an overall winner, but you could do that. You weren't allowed to count running and physical exercise toward the total, so that levelled the playing field quite a bit. I even participated and I was 6 months pregnant at the start and 9 months pregnant at the end of it.
