Movetober – Stay Active & Be Seen this Fall

Movetober is here!

SEARHC is inviting you to participate in our physical activity program Movetober: Stay Active, Be Seen this Fall! This free, all-ages and inclusive program starts October 2 and runs through October 31. All Southeast Alaskans are encouraged to join in on the fun! As the leaves begin to fall we want you to join our community of people who want to enhance their physical activity levels while staying safe as we move into the darker fall months. The best movement is the one you know you can complete – gardening, walking, dancing or playing with your kids!

HOW IT WORKS
The program starts on October 2. Every week you’ll make a personal fitness goal based on the minutes you spent being active, then track it. Every Monday you’ll receive an email from our team with instructions to submit the active minutes you achieved. Each tracker you submit will act as your submission into the weekly prize drawing! We’ve got a great lineup of prizes for you, your kids and your pet.  If you stay on track to finish off the month, the better your chances are to win big! If you log all four weeks, you’ll be entered into a grand prize drawing for a reflective jacket!

Do you want to increase your odds of winning a prize? Post a photo, story, or reel on social media (Facebook or Instagram) about your Movetober experience and use the hashtag #movetober in your post to receive additional entries in the weekly drawings.

STEPS TO PARTICIPATE

  1. REGISTER here for the program.
  2. DOWNLOAD the paper tracker OR use your own way of tracking your active minutes (the paper trackers do not need to be submitted, this is just a resource for you to track your goals).
  3. ON OCTOBER 2 – START TRACKING
  4. ATTEND Lunch & Learns on Oct. 4, 11, 18, 25 & Nov. 1st.
