See your progress with every step you make

Make every mile count! You’re no longer just going for a run, a walk, a ride, or a swim, you’re working towards conquering a S.M.A.R.T fitness goal.
Oh, and every 20% of the challenge you complete we will plant a real tree in your honor.

5. Can I be on a team or can my institution form a team to complete the NERCOMP Fitness Challenge?
You are welcome to form a team for your campus, department, family, etc; unfortunately, teams within the platform create an unfair advantage by adding all the mileage of all team members together, so it is unfair to those competing individually.
