ATG's Spring 2019 Step Challenge

2019 ATG Step Challenge Banner

Walking is wonderfully simple and beneficial. It supports heart health, slows the mental decline associated with aging, and can help us lose weight. Who doesn't want more of those benefits? In 2018, ATG set out to support our staff in achieving these goals with several programs, including the ATG Step Challenge. Last year's challenge was held for three weeks in November and was such a success that we did it again this spring.

Well Done Team ATG!

Our second Challenge ran from April 29 - May 27, 2019. There were 50 participants, ten teams of five employees each. The results were impressive:

  • Week One — Walked nearly 1,590 miles.
  • Week Two — Upped our game and reached 1,660 miles.
  • Week Three — Did it again, rising to nearly 1,760 miles.
  • Week Four — Went all out and made it to 2,118 miles!

That's nearly enough to walk from Chicago to Anchorage, Alaska, and back — congratulations to all of our participants!
