Movement Challenge

And the winner is…. Alice A. from Boulder!

Congratulations to the grand prize winner of Boulder Community Health’s 2nd Annual Movement Challenge, Alice A. who won $800 in prizes!

Alice told us "The movement challenge came at the exact right time for me. The pandemic made me a homebody and I rarely ventured out, except when I had to. I had just decided to start my daily walks again and was 2 days into it, when I saw the email from you about the Movement Challenge. It was the perfect motivator and while I was not in very good shape when I started, I soon began to feel stronger and started enjoying the walks. Feeling better physically and emotionally is enough to keep me going, even though the Movement Challenge has ended!”

With 7,455 total movement entries and over 5,000 hours of movement, we are so glad you all joined us!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What counts as “movement”?

Anything! We want to inspire our community to move every day for 30 days, in any way that is meaningful to you! This might be as part of your commute to work, spending time with your family or pets, or simply getting outside. All we ask is that you come here to bch.org/move each day to tell us how you moved!

Is the challenge free?

Yes! Your participation is free and voluntary. Plus, there are great prizes worth $50-$800 dollars that you could win each day you enter your movement.

What if I forget to enter or miss a day?

That is okay, just enter now! Unfortunately, we cannot enter you retroactively as the daily prize will already have been awarded. Don’t forget that each entry is an additional entry toward the grand prize.

Can my kids participate?

Yes! If they are under the age of 18, we ask that you submit their movement for them. We absolutely encourage the whole family to get involved and enter to win the daily prizes or the grand prizes!

What if I am not able to use the daily prize on the day I win?

Don’t worry! If the daily prize is somehow not applicable to you or your family, you are welcome to gift it to someone you know or love in your life and when we contact you, you can let us know you would like a BCH on-the-go First Aid kit instead!

Can my dog participate?

Unfortunately, we are only accepting human entries this year but we hope you will still get them involved in your movement!

Why are you asking if I am a BCH employee?

The BCH team is a huge part of our Movement Challenge community and so we are asking to see how many of our employees are participating this year.

It does not impact your participation in any way.

If you are a volunteer, or are a contract worker for BCH, you are welcome to select the box but you do not have to.

Can I participate if I do not live in Boulder?

Yes! Anyone and everyone in the Greater Boulder Valley community is welcome to join our Movement Challenge and everyone has an equal chance of winning a daily prize. Please note that prizes are based in the area and will require a coordinated pick up or drop off in the Boulder Valley area.

Please note, in the spirit of creating a more sustainable event, this year’s challenge is totally virtual. We will not be printing physical scorecards.
