Staff and students still have time to join challenge against Townsville
Published on 07 September, 2006
CQU Rockhampton staff and students have until close of business on Monday (September 11) to register to join a challenge against Townsville residents in the 10,000 STEPS City of Origin challenge.
Fourteen of the 36 teams to register so far are based at CQU, but organisers are keen to have 60 teams involved.
Teams of up to 5 people can register for the challenge, which runs for 6 weeks from September 17 to October 28.
The Rockhampton end of the challenge is open to people from Rockhampton City, Livingstone Shire and Fitzroy Shire.
Participants will monitor their daily steps using pedometers and use the 10,000 STEPS website to record their individual and team progress.
The total Rockhampton district steps count will be compared with Townsville's count and adjusted to take into account overall populations.
Registration forms and options to get pedometers are available from the 10,000 STEPS office in building 18 at CQU or by visiting:.
