Welcome to the "March Against Nic" Walking Challenge!
Get ready for a month of fun, friendly competition, and a whole lot of steps! This guide has everything you need to know to join the challenge, compete against Nic, and win some great prizes. Let's get walking!
Overview of the Challenge
Name: March Against Nic
Dates: March 1–31
Concept: It’s you versus Nic! Every day, you’ll compete against Nic’s step count as he travels through Argentina and Peru. The twist? You won’t know his final step count until the day is over, so you'll have to give it your all to earn points.
Goal: To encourage our community to get outside, walk more, and have fun together.
How It Works
1. The Daily Step Target
At the end of each day, Nic will post his final step count in the official WhatsApp group. This number becomes the target for that day.
2. The Point System
You earn points based on how your daily step count compares to Nic's.
1 Point: Achieve 70% of Nic’s steps.
2 Points: Achieve 100% of Nic’s steps.
3 Points: Achieve 130% of Nic’s steps.
3. Bonus Points
There are extra ways to boost your score:
Buddy Bonus (5 Points): Bring a friend into the challenge! You’ll get 5 bonus points once they join the WhatsApp group and start participating.
Selfie Bonus (1 Point Daily): Post a walking selfie on your Instagram story or feed, tag Nic, and use the hashtag #MarchAgainstNic. You can earn one point for this every day.
4. Submitting Your Steps
To get your points, you must submit proof of your steps.
Take a screenshot or photo of your daily step count from your phone, smartwatch, or fitness tracker.
Post the photo in the WhatsApp group by the end of each day.
Missed a day? No problem! You can submit your steps late to claim your points.
Ways to Win
1. Top 3 Point Gatherers
The three participants with the most points at the end of March will be crowned our champions!
2. Random Draw
Consistency pays off! Anyone who earns at least 50 points throughout the month will be entered into a random draw for a prize. This gives everyone a chance to win, not just the top walkers.
3. Mini-Challenges
Stay on your toes! Nic will randomly announce surprise mini-challenges in the WhatsApp group throughout the month. These are fun opportunities to earn extra bonus points.
Keeping It Fun and Engaging
