The purpose of this event is two fold. One, It will help raise money for food pantries in Tioga County through the generosity of a sponsor Tioga State Bank and two, it will encourage community health through exercise in May, National Walking Month.Food pantries are a first line of help for Tioga County residents that are food insecure. Tioga State Bank will donate $25 to local panties for every walker that walks 100 kilometers in the month of May, up to a maximum of $2,500.Participants can walk anytime and anyplace from May 1 until May 31.Walking at home and at work all add up. There will be weekly prizes for walkers in different categories to encourage participants and to make it more fun. People can share pictures of their activity and interesting things that they see while walking.The event uses an app called Nike Run Club ( no you don't have to run) to keep track of the distance walked. To join download the Nike Run Club (NRC) app to your cell phone, on the NRC app click on the club icon (two figures) at the bottom of the screen, then click on where is says Challenges and look for Owego Rotary May 2024 100K Care Challenge and sign up. Some people get on the app quickly and some take a bit longer. It can take up to 24 hours for you to get on the participant list. You may call Nike at 1-800-379-6453 if you are not on the list in 24 hours. There will be two sessions of " I want to do this, but need app help" on April 27 and 28, time and place to be determined.
