Last year, Drake won the Walktober Step Challenge with Des Moines University (DMU) and Wesley Life, and took temporary ownership of the traveling trophy. To keep the trophy on campus another year, we need to defend our title.

Join the Drake team and help us retain our championship status. You will receive a journal and instructions to track your daily steps both on and off campus during the month of October. Any movement that records steps counts, including walking, working in the yard, and fitness classes. Along the way, you will receive fun facts and have a chance to win individual prizes. 

This event is open to all faculty, staff, and students. To register, send an email to linda.feiden@drake.edu. The registration deadline is Friday, Sept. 25.
