Put a little step into your spring by participating in the Get Out Get Active (GOGA) Challenge! Challenge yourself to get active from April 27 – June 7, 2015, trekking your way through an African Safari adventure!

Along with nine Edmonton and Area Primary Care Networks, the Camrose PCN has a fun way for you to work towards a healthier you! 

The 2015 Get Out Get Active challenge is a 6 week on-line program for all ages which keeps track of your physical fitness activities (walking, running, swimming, basketball, cycling, etc.), and then turns them into steps, which then “virtually” takes you on an African Safari.  Participating is easy and totally free and you can win great prizes along the way! Not only will you be working towards a healthier you – but by logging your steps and activity regularly at www.GetOutGetActivePCN.com. – you will be eligible for the 2015 Get Out Get Active Grand Prize of a "African Themed" gift pack!

By being a part of a larger regional initiative this year, the Camrose PCN annual virtual trek will operate a little differently.  Individuals who live in the Camrose PCN catchment area will join under the Camrose PCN group and compete individually against other the Edmonton area PCN teams. Participating PCN's include Alberta Heartland, Camrose, Edmonton North, Edmonton Southside, Edmonton West, Kalyna Country, Leduc/Beaumont/Devon, Sherwood Park/Strathcona County, St. Albert and Westview.

Starting April 13, you can register for this free activity challenge. Registration is simple. Go to www.GetOutGetActivePCN.com. Beginning April 27th, start keeping track of your fitness activities and log onto www.GetOutGetActivePCN.com regularly to enter your steps! While participants are welcome to use a pedometer or other step tracking device, the on-line program will also calculate other activities such as swimming, biking, basketball etc. into steps so all fitness activities can count towards your steps.  
Each of the participating PCN's will be doing some local initiatives for the challenge. The Camrose PCN is happy to once again partner with Augustana Fitness Centre who once again will play a substantial role to the success of the challenge!
