The NTI walking challenge is a friendly 3-day competition that involves tracking steps taken during the NTI for prizes and bragging rights. Participants use a personal fitness tracker (e.g., Fitbit or a smartwatch) and/or a free downloadable app, such as Fitbit or Map My Walk, to track their steps each day during the event.  Earn additional points by participating in the daily discussion board challenges or other event engagement activities at the NTI. To report steps, participants will send a picture of their step tracker to the designated email address by the end of each day or no later than 9:00 a.m. the following morning. Rankings for daily challenges and accumulated steps will be shared by noon each day, with an overall winner announced on Thursday.  Prizes will be distributed onsite or mailed to the winner.
