I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play, When wild and sweet, Their words repeat, Of peace on earth, good will to men! Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (Unitarian, poet)
-
Merry Christmas everyone! Don't forget to stay active and healthy! <3 :)
-
Congrats on finishing @MaryAlice411 . From your posts, seems like you had a lot of fun along the way. Next year, I will only be working part time and MAY be able to keep up with you!
@ZusammenSue My dogs are not small, but not that big, besides riding doesn't get steps. Dig walking does.

@Sally_and_Heidi - Woo Hoo! 227.7 miles and counting! NUMBER 54TH! Keep up the good work in NYC, Jean, and in NC, Heidi!
-
We have made it to the eastern region! Go team!
-
racerbot Dec 22, 2016Hello human friends! I have an exciting new feature for you today: in the Recent Activity section, you can click hashtags to filter activity by that hashtag. Mention things like #Charlotte, #snowwalk, or #trail in your mileage submission, then click the hashtag to see fellow challengers using that same hasthtag!
-
Feeling Discouraged? From Reykjavik, it took 12 miles to get out of the Capital Region. There are still about 56 of the 286 teams in the race still back there. So if you are in the Southern Region or the Eastern Region, GREAT JOB! (And if you are still back in the Capital Region...I imagine that you are off doing other things and enjoying the holiday season.) Cheers to all.
-
Welcome @August_Moon
-
Welcome @FloridaKathy
-
OK. I've busted my butt averaging 20 miles a day for the past 12 days so I could finish #1. I'm 10 miles away and someone enters 332 miles on one day and finishes first. This is quite frustrating.
-
Gonna go hit the trail and get this DONE!!!!! I can do this!!!!!!!!!

SOLTICE CELEBRATION BEGINS TODAY! Welcome @Ice_Snakes @CP_Lions You could crawl the last mile in an hour....we aren't going to bring the s'mores and hot chocolate out to you. @KeepCalmWalkOn @FloridaKathy @Beets_Workin @August_Moon You are within striking distance....come on in from the cold! @RegionalWalkers You got your work cut out for you, but you could still get here tonight before all the mead is gone.
-
CHALLENGE FOR THE DAY: Eight teams are within sight of Djupivogur. You should be able to see the huge bonfire for the soltice. It will take a team effort, but I think all of you can make it today! @KeepCalmWalkOn @FloridaKathy @Beets_Workin @Ice_Snakes @August_Moon @CP_Lions @RegionalWalkers You are all within 40 miles (some within 20).
-
For the last 3 days it will not take me to my team when I click to see who is adding daily mileage.Feeling frustrated!!
Hey @Eliza! Are you still having that issue? Happy to figure out the answer. Can you email me at lesley@racery.net? Thanks! -
feeling really discouraged. a few people have disappeared from the team and I dont think we are going to finish this in one week :(
It's not really about the team finishing it's about your walking and doing the best you can. Keep up the good work.

Way to go Team PCC Wellness. Even though we made it, let's keep walking, walking, walking through the 25th and into 2017. Good work!
-
C'mon teams! We are all so close to the finish line! LOG THOSE MILES and finish strong!
-
Come on Sunny day team!!! Add a few extra miles today!
-
I mistakenly forgot to add a period to an entry and now it says I did 208 miles instead of 2.8 how do I fix this anyone? please?
-
Got sidetracked with an infection. No walking or exercise at all since last Sunday. Apologies to my team. @Teachers'_Team
-
Looks to me like 7 of the TOP 50 teams have not yet made it to the Eastern Region. I think they can call all make it this weekend. What do you think? @Bye_Felicia @healthywon @Jingle_Belles @Coolforcats @Magic_Narwhals @FDOH-Hillsboro @Teachers'_Team Teachers' Team needs some help though @Paperandink (Papers should be graded by now.) Good luck to all and Happy Holidays!
-
@Wolfpack_Strong Keep up the good work team. We're almost there! Go Pack!
-
Looks like we made it! Nice Work PCC Wellness.
-
Regional Walkers we are 92 miles from the finish line! Let's do this!!!!
-
@MaryAlice411 just noticed that we have another team just a few miles out. So we pulled our greeter out of school. Hurry @PCC-Wellness we don't want him to fall too far behind in his classes. http://djupivogur.is/adalve...
-
@ZusammenSue We have incoming about 4 miles out.
-
Walkers - your teams are counting on each and every one to pull their weight and log their miles...the challenge is meant to be fun AND challenging...be healthy - get out there and focus on you! :)
-
Two on the team haven't started ???????? and 3rd person stopped logging
-
All teams are on track to make it to the end
You can see all the teams by going to Teams and at the end pressing "see more", 50 more will appear....and show up on the map. You can do that multiple times to see everybody.

@Soaring_Eagles Come on Team Soaring Eagles! Let's get those miles logged!! We can do this!!
-
Let's go @Wolfpack_Strong we're almost there. We can do this!
-
@RaceryKayla I accidentally logged 43.1 miles instead of 3.1. Can you fix that please?
-
Had a lot of logging to do! Now to focus on the finish line!
-
Way to @Cool_Walkers
-
Come on Teachers' Team! I know we're all trying to make it to Christmas break, but we need to kick it in here! We all know we can be competitive :)
-
Congratulations to all the finishing teams !!!!! "We Gonna Do It" no matter what, go team go
-
Congrats to all the teams finishing! :)
-
@RaceryKayla quick question. Do bike miles count? I thought not, but I see some log entries that refer to bike miles.
That's correct. Biking mileage shouldn't be submitted to this challenge in order to keep everyone on the same playing field. Anyone who has submitted cycling miles can reach out to me at Kayla@racery.net and I'm happy to fix your logs :) -
Carol65 Dec 12, 2016How do I leave the race?
-
How do you add a device ( like fitbit) to log your activity? How do you convert steps into miles? Please share your thoughts.
-
How do I log in my miles for today as well as logging in the backlog for miles walked
-
I just joined and don't have a clue what Im doing
-
Don't forget to log your miles! Everyone is doing great!
-
Just checked I can't be sure because if the time zone thing, but it looks like only one team hasn't met the number they need for today and they are only off something like .5 of a mile so it doesn't even count. Everyone looks good we will all make it across
-
Welcome @Step_To_It
-
We see that @Step_To_It has broken away from the pack. You should be able to see the bonfire from across the fjord. All the locals are incredibly friendly. This little guy wants to be the first to greet you. http://djupivogur.is/adalve...
-
Congratulations 60 plus walkers you've arrived at the destination. Great job
-
In Djupivogur, we have started to collect firewood to build the biggest bonfire the North has ever seen and we have ordered mead to be delivered from a microbrewery in Reykjavik (at the request of @JonSnowsWalker ). If you see the delivery truck pass you.....follow it. Wondering who will join us next. @Step_To_It @MCC_Campus_1 @Jamie's_Jingles @Cool_Walkers @Ice_Queens @PCC-Wellness @HealthyPinellas @Roaming_Raptors Or, is a team from further back planning to make a move? See you all soon! (And, for Game of Thrones fans, may the Old Gods and New be with you.)
-
@Sally_and_Heidi We are closing in on 100 miles, ladies! Keep up the good work!
-
Right! Do not be discouraged if your miles are not as high as others just keep trying! Set a goal and reach for it! And remember, YOU are in the race and trying - pat yourself on the back for that! :)
-
@60+_Walkers Our rooms are ready at the Hotel Framtid, as promised. I am sitting in front of a roaring virtual fire in a huge stone virtual fireplace, drinking virtual hot chocolate with melted marshmallows. Come down when you are rested and we'll plan the solstice party for the other groups that will be coming in soon. I know that @JonSnowsWalker will be especially anxious to get here. As we all know, Winter is coming.
all rested, showered and dressed. Order me a hot chocolate and before you know it I'll be sitting next to you enjoying the fire. Thanks for booking such a wonderful room.
-
You go @60+_Walkers. I always knew us 60+ had what it took
-
Wow all the miles that are being logged! Keep up the awesome miles! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Welcome to the 2016 Holiday Challenge, brought to you Eat Smart, Move More, Weigh Less!
To boost your motivation in this year’s Holiday Challenge, we invite you to come race with us through scenic Iceland. Join a team or start your own, then work together to reach the finish line.
Start your collection and commemorate Holiday Challenge – Race through Iceland!!
<center>
</center>
Walk/run anywhere you want. Then log miles and see yourself move on our map and leaderboards. Catch a Google street view of your virtual locale, then cheer on your real fellow racers through the group message board!
We've got racers participating all over the country so to keep everyone on the same page, we've come up with some handy guidelines:
1. We rely on the honor system... you don't have to use a device to prove your miles -- a good map suffices. To track your miles with GPS or on your phone, use apps such as Google Maps, MapMyWalk, Nike+, Underarmour, etc.
2. Only intentional running or walking miles please – this does not include general step counting throughout your day from a Fitbit, Jawbone, etc. This keeps everyone on a level playing field! If you do wear a step counter while you are intentionally going on a walk or run, 2,000 steps is a mile.
3. Please attribute your mileage to the appropriate day -- don't combine mileage from multiple days.
4. Please only backdate mileage for a race up to two weeks in the past.
5. When your team crosses, keep submitting individual mileage! Those leaderboards will continue to matter until the race officially closes! Keep that competition alive ;)
6. Only mileage added before the race officially closes on December 25th at 23:59:59 EST will count in the race leaderboards.
HAVE FUN!
