Get Ready to Thrive Across America

It’s time to hit the ground running. Thrive Across America is back for San Diego County employees!

Thrive Across America is an online program where participants log physical activity and progress along a virtual route across the United States. The trail this year is new. We’re traveling from the Cohos Trail in New Hampshire to Kings Canyon—here in California.

“Whether you are an elite athlete or just starting out, Thrive Across America can motivate you to get moving and keep moving,” said William Erese, wellness program coordinator. “Plus this popular program is a lot of fun.”

Participants are urged to do at least 30 minutes of physical activity, five days a week. Each day you record 30 or more minutes of physical activity, you earn a star. The more stars you earns, the higher your score and the farther you “travel” across the country. Plus, there are prizes for your efforts.

Registration and team formation is open through Aug. 16. Team participation, which requires four to 10 members, is optional.

Participants may begin recording activity on Monday, August 3. Record minutes online or on your smartphone. Download the Thrive Across America app from the App Store or Android Market—and log from the gym, trail or home.

The competition runs eight weeks through Sept. 27.

This Employee Wellness program is one of the activities you must participate in to be eligible for the end of year beach cruiser bike opportunity drawing for 2015.
