Summer is a great time to boost your third-quarter PATH points — especially with the Summer Fun Challenge, the Healthy Selfie Pop-up Points day and our Mindful of Mental Health Webinar — Managing Fear and Anxiety.

Summer Fun, PATH’s summer Step Challenge, started July 3 and runs through July 30. For four weeks, this challenge encourages you to get outside, get moving with your friends and family and have FUN! 

Summer Fun Challenge

As with all step challenges, you log steps to move from stage to stage. The step goal for this challenge is the same as all step challenges — at least 7,000 steps per day. If you meet that goal, you earn 1,000 PATH points. There are other ways to earn points, too, such as joining the challenge, starting a team and chatting with other challenge participants. The individual and team that logs the most steps will earn additional points — 1,000 for first place, 750 for second and 500 for third.
 
At the end of the first week of the challenge, 475 people registered to participate and there were 140 teams. The average participant steps after seven days were 81,465, roughly 10,000 steps per day! In total,everyone logged 19,348 miles — the equivalent of walking the Trans Canada Trail!

Healthy Selfie

June 20 was our Healthy Selfie day where 43 participants took a photo of a healthy activity they completed and submitted it to earn 100 PATH points.

Mindful of Mental Health Webinar — Managing Fear and Anxiety

We also had our third Mindful of Mental Health Webinar in 2023 on Thursday, July 13, from 12 to 1 p.m. If you weren’t able to join Jamie Peterson from Balancing Life’s Issues to learn about coping skills and resources, click here to watch the recording. Remember that PATH participants earn 100 points for attending live or listening to the recording!
