Event Overview
NERCOMP is excited to announce a year-long commitment to wellness and charitable giving! Join the NERCOMP community and "Get Fit Together" while raising funds for Girls Who Code

Want to improve your physical and mental health, decrease stress, and get in shape, while also raising funds for a charity? Over the course of the year, you and your colleagues will walk, bike, run or swim long a 700-mile trek through the Northeast NERCOMP Territory. 

It's easy as 1-2-3!
1. Register online - Your registration fee includes access to the myvirtualmission.com NERCOMP Fitness Challenge, a donation to Girls Who Code, and if you finish the virtual trek, a NERCOMP Fitness Challenge water bottle!
2. Log and track your progress using myvirtualmission.com
3.  Have fun with your colleagues while making a difference in the lives of young adults! 

Using myvirtualmission.com, we will track our progress from Vermont to New Hampshire; Maine to Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and then on to Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Because this is a virtual trek, you can walk in your own neighborhood, go for a swim, or bike a local trail and then log your mileage in the app.  

What's in it for you?
 - You will increase your own fitness levels.
 - You will learn about the states and member schools in NERCOMP Territory.
 - You will learn about the mission and services of Girls Who Code
 - And if you finish the virtual trek, you will get a NERCOMP Fitness Challenge water bottle!
 * Girls Who Code is on a mission to close the gender gap through technology and change the image of what a programmer looks like and does.
 * For the 2021 Fitness Challenge - NERCOMP donated $2,500 to YearUp

NOTE: Registration is open and rolling through December 31st, however, it may be difficult to complete the trek the later you sign up.
