The base unit is the amount of energy it takes to run/walk 1 mile. Even though there will be other activities such as hiking, skiing, biking, etc. that you can measure the exact distance using a device, maps, etc., the energy output for them is more or less than walking/running 1 mile so they are converted using time instead (using national standards for conversion) or miles are adjusted to reflect effort. For example: biking is one of the distance categories that you enter in distance, but the output distance is converted to equivalent miles running/walking (not 1:1). If you feel you are doing a vigorous activity and getting less distance for your energy output, please use your discretion and add more time. There are lots of variable energy outputs for many of these activities so we understand that we can’t measure every single one so we trust your judgment and honesty.
The top 5 overall participants (by total miles completed in May) will receive a Healthy Futures hoodie and 100 Miles in May beanie!
The top overall business team (average miles per participant) will receive a scheduled visit from a Healthy Hero athlete, and each participant on that team completing over 100 miles will receive a 100 Miles in May beanie!*
Top businesses (by average miles per participant) within each industry will be profiled on the Healthy Futures website and social media.*
Participants from the top, non-business team (average miles per participant) will win Healthy Futures t-shirts.**

Email us and we will consider adding it, but if it is an activity not frequently used by many, find the most similar one and use your best judgement.
Use your daily activity as part of your 100 Miles and convert it using the many online tools to converts steps to miles. If you are a nurse, construction worker etc. and walk throughout your day, use that activity as measured by your pedometer, smart phone, etc. but do not double count your activity (enter steps that were also part of another exercise).
If some of your teammates choose not to log miles, the team owner can choose to remove them to increase the team's miles/participant average by going to "My Team" and going to the right of the users' name and clicking the trash can.
There are 4 leaderboards to view rankings: Teams or Individuals, Industry type, Team size, Average miles/participant, and Total miles. You need to select the one you would like to see using the drop down boxes at the top of the page. The winning team is based on average miles/participant. This allows small teams to be competitive with larger ones.
