in Challenges
Welcome to the Amazing Race - Summer Heat! This is a TEAM challenge, which will last from June 20 until August 29. In that 10 weeks, teams will compete to reach 10 countries around the world. In order to reach each destination, a certain number of miles must be completed, which will vary from week to week. Miles are accumulated by minutes of exercise done by each team.

There will also be three challenges each week: two physical and a third nutritional or accountability challenge. Each individual challenge will have assigned points that will also be added to your team's score.
Points will be totaled for each team and the team with the most points at the end of the race, wins!
Of course, your team must reach the required destinations!

If interested, please join the group and add yourself to the sign-up sheet using the link below:

    We had enough MFP members sign-up in the first 24 hours for two teams, so spots are going quickly! This challenge is meant to be tailored to your individual fitness ability, while working with a team for motivation and support. We will virtually "travel" to 10 different countries over 10 weeks: competing, getting fit, and having fun while we do it! :smiley:

    Hey everyone, this is a great chance to make new friends and "travel" around the world. Losing weight and getting in shape is much more fun when you have a team to lean on for support and offer words of encouragement.

    This is a fun challenge. You get to race around the world, do some fun, yet challenging challenges, lose weight and make friends!

    I know summer is full of traveling and picnics and hanging out with kids, so why not turn your extra activity into miles to help your team reach awesome destinations around the world?!

    Even if you are away for part of it I am sure arrangements can be made so that you can still participate.

    Not sure how many people are on my team right now (in addition to my former team mates from the previous challenge). But if you are ok with me touching base with you on a regular basis to keep you in the game, then ask to be put on my team. I say 'touching base ' but what I really mean is nagging you in the most respectful way possible because my team is in it to win it!!!

    Ok. That looks bad when the emoticons I added don't show up. I had some goofy faces emojis in there to lighten up that message. Geesh.

    Team 1 vs team 6 all over again?! Lol. Absolutely loved the previous challenge and @leannev68 is an amazing team leader. And if @mswanger09 was team captain of team 6 in the last challenge, you will be fortunate to be on her team as well. All the people who were in the challenge last time were amazing! Looking forward to 6/20!!
