It’s a new year and an excellent time to develop a healthy habit or add more movement to your week. And the Alameda County Safe Routes to Schools (SR2S) Program has the perfect incentive: the Golden Sneaker Contest.
The Golden Sneaker Contest is a two-week challenge from March 4-15, 2024. Classrooms in participating Alameda County schools compete against each other to see who can walk, bike, skate, roll, take transit, or carpool the most. Register by February 2 to join the fun and put your classroom in the running for the coveted Golden Sneaker Award!
The contest doesn’t start until March, but now is the perfect time to incorporate more shared and active transportation into your school commute.
You can be more active as an individual, but it can be even more fun to get out together as a family. Here are five ways families can roll together this year.
It takes about two weeks to cement a new habit. If you can replace some or all of your car trips with active or shared transportation for two weeks, chances are you’ll want to keep walking and rolling. The Golden Sneaker Contest can help with that, but you can get a head start now, so you’re ready for the competition in March.
For more tips on how to stay safe and enjoy your commute to school, the SR2S website has a list of helpful resources. If you have questions, the SR2S team is always happy to help. Feel free to reach out at [email protected].
