Join the Turkey Trot Challenge for more movement and fun this Thanksgiving

Keep your members moving this Thanksgiving with the Myzone Turkey Trot Challenge.

This simple, inclusive challenge is designed to build community and keep members engaged and moving over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Created to provide a fun alternative to the traditional Turkey Trot community race, this four-day challenge, starting on Thursday, November 28, provides a fantastic opportunity to bring your member community together.

The secret to staying active at Thanksgiving

“As people gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, exercise routines tend to become challenged as families and friends take part in the celebrations," explains Terry Woods, VP and GM of Myzone Americas.

“The Myzone Turkey Trot keeps members connected to your gym community during the Thanksgiving break and gives people a fun reason to keep moving and logging their MEPs in a way that can fit in with, rather than interrupt, their holiday plans.”

How does the challenge work?

The set-up is just like creating any Myzone challenge for your members. However, for this challenge, from Thanksgiving morning (November 28) through to midnight on Sunday, December 1, 2024, participants are challenged to achieve 300 Myzone Effort Points (MEPs).

This effort-based goal should be achievable for most people, making it accessible and motivating for everyone. It’s a chance for members to “earn” their holiday treats!

• Challenge Duration: Thanksgiving morning (Nov 28) to Sunday midnight (Dec 1)
• Goal: 300 MEPs – equivalent to the average effort for a Thanksgiving 10K race
• Reward: Each participant who reaches 300 MEPs could be entered into a raffle to win a selection of holiday themed prizes, for example.

Bring people together through exercise

This isn’t just about hitting numbers. The Turkey Trot Challenge brings people together, promotes a sense of accomplishment, and encourages members to stay active in a fun, holiday-themed way.

Whether it’s a morning run, an afternoon hike or dancing around the living room with family – members can hit their MEPs any way they like, inside or outside of your facility.

Together, let’s inspire movement, build community, and show members the fun of staying active over the holidays!
