Event Description

Join the Wellness Warriors in taking Evans "coast to coast"! We'll travel from San Francisco to DC and check in with stops along the way. It's time to lace up those sneakers and get ready to walk, run, bike, or exercise and fire up some friendly competition across Evans Nation.  

We're launching a virtual mileage based challenge from September 1 – October 17 and is designed to get us moving. This challenge takes us across the USA as we head towards DC and concludes with the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation walk in DC, which we have participated in annually in memory of our beloved Ana Gross, a cherished colleague and friend, and in celebration of Ben DeSantis, Bobbi's husband! We hope you can join us on October 17th in DC for this walk and get some extra miles along the way on the last day of competition. (Stay tuned for more walk details!) 

To add to the fun, there will be prizes along the way!  

Overall Mileage: Most miles accumulated over the challenge

Wellness MVPs: Random drawings for those that logged mileage and/or participated in mini challenges.
