Messiah Employees Continuing Their 'Virtual' Appalachian Trail Hike

Beginning in the fall of 2011, many Messiah employees began tracking their weekly physical activity.  After the exercise is recorded on the Capital BlueCross website, the wellness director converts the activity to an equivalent number of walking miles along the Appalachian Trail.  Any activity can be entered, and both CBC-insured and non-insured employees can participate.  Employees are then personally notified when they 'cross' state borders.  We will be continuing this virtual hike during the 2012-13 academic year.  To participate, employees must register for either the FALCON FOOT-IT program or the EXERCISE TRACKING program.  Explanations of and registering instructions for these programs can be found by clicking on the appropriate link on this web page.

Number of employees who have crossed the following state lines:

 

NC - 152    TN - 122      VA - 47      W. VA - 14      MD - 14      PA - 13       NJ - 9      NY - 9      CT - 6

     

MA - 4       VT - 4         NH - 4        ME - 3                   

 

Number of employees who have through-hiked the entire Appalachian Trail:  2
