Congratulations, Carolina, for completing the 25th Miles for Wellness Challenge: Traversing the Northern Capitols of the United States, which took place March 14 – May 8. Over the eight-week challenge, teams of up to 10 competed against 300 other teams across the state to virtually visit up to 19 different state capitols from Raleigh, NC, to Bismark, ND, and then back to the east coast, finishing in Washington, DC.
With 38 teams successfully completing the challenge this spring, Carolina once again had more teams than all other participating state universities combined. Collectively, Carolina teams logged 170,142,788 steps (85,071 miles)—that’s nearly 3.5 times around the earth for UNC teams! Thank you to all those who participated, and a special congratulations to team BCAS Road Warriors for walking the most steps (9,246,989 steps) of all Carolina teams.
The next Miles for Wellness Challenge will begin in late August 2022. Registration information will be available later this summer.
