World Fit Walk Rules

1. Each school shall set its own World Fit campus walk hours.
2. Each school sets its own “Rules While Walking.” Example: stay on measured walk path; no pushing, shoving, horse play, etc. World Fit feels running and/or jogging is acceptable during the Walk, however, each school path is different and schools must make rules fit accordingly.
3. World Fit Walk sessions must be monitored by school staff.
4. World Fit Walk Buddies can donate 1/2 their daily logged miles to any student of their choice who is registered in the Walk.
5. Students may count up to three sports in a given day during the Walk. The sport time logged should include only the time in active participation. Participating teachers monitor students for logging accuracy. Students found deliberately logging more campus miles or more hours in sports activities than they actually achieved, are not eligible for World Fit awards; however may continue to participate in the Walk. Their miles may not count toward the school total. NOTE: World Fit will email school contacts when a student logs in a suspiciously high number of miles.
6. Walking between classes does not count toward daily totals.
7. Credit for World Fit school competitions and awards begins the first day of the Walk. Students must be registered on time to receive credit for a full 40 days of walking and activities. Those registering late (after the Walk has started) begin accumulating miles from the date they register forward. Example: students registering a week (seven days) late, earn only 33 days of mileage/sport credit out of the full total 40 days. World Fit calculates the “average miles walked” by each student and each school, based on 40 days. Registering after the formal walk start date, lowers the total average for that student, for the entire student body, and it misrepresents the fitness achieved by all.
8. Students may only log their miles once a day. Therefore, it is best to log miles at the end of the day at home or the next day at school. If a student forgets to log in, or gets out of their logging pattern on a given day, thus missing credit for miles, may add the missed miles to the following day’s total.
9. Weekend walking on the school campus path (without school staff supervision) may be counted as a sports activity.
10. Sports not listed on the sports activity list can still be counted by selecting the sport that is most closely related to it.
