WV Walks: 30+ Minutes Daily

Frequent Walker Card

The WV WALKS Frequent Walker Card was created to help encourage & motivate not-so-frequent walkers.  Walkers were asked to complete the card as specified and return it by October 31, 2005 to WV WALKS.  They were then entered into a drawing for a $60 gift certificate from a local sporting goods vendor, perhaps for the purchase of a brand new pair of walking shoes!

The contest ran from September 20 through October 19, 2005.


Frequent Walker Cards were available at the following locations:

Note:  Frequent Walker Cards were NOT available online.

Rules

To qualify for inclusion in the drawing, participants simply needed to walk 30+ Minutes Daily on their own, with family, friends, or in a group, and/or attend and walk at special events (see below).  Accumulating a total of 75 points made them eligible for contest entry.  Those walking 125+ points earned SUPER STAR WALKER status and their name was entered twice in the drawing, doubling their chances while further increasing health benefits.

Possible point accumulation:

points x occasions = points
5 x 15 = 75
10 x 5 = _50_
        125

Point Validation:

Individual points are based on the honor system. Simply enter the date(s) of your 30+ minute walks on the line.

SPECIAL WALKING EVENTS are worth 10 points each on your Frequent Walker card.  Visit the “FWC station” at each event for validation.
