Walking Rally
The Walking Rally is a competition that emphasizes physical activity, teamwork and fun. Create a team with your fellow employees (teams can be 3-5 people). Teams will be given a list of clues of locations around the Boise State University campus. Each team must have a digital camera to take pictures of the locations on the list. Each member of the team will also be given a pedometer to record the number of steps taken during the rally. The team to find the most locations in the hour time limit wins a prize. The individual with the most steps during the rally also will win a prize!
