Whether it's literal or figurative, everyone has a mountain to climb. So, let's get after it together! Mt. Everest sits at 29,032 feet above sea level. Climbing this mountain in real life is quite the accomplishment but climbing the equivalent amount of elevation is no easy feat, either. Let’s see how many times we can climb Mt. Everest together, over the course of the month.

As a team, accumulate vertical gain during activities to "climb" the height of Mt. Everest as many times as possible. Prizes will be awarded to members from the top placing teams.

THE RULES

Participation Is Critical

Because each competing team is a different size, scoring for this challenge is handicapped. This means a smaller team could win first-place if they contribute more elevation gain per member than a larger team, even if the larger team climbs Mt. Everest more times.

All Elevation Gain Counts

Some of us will head to the trails to run or hike uphill. Others will jump on their bikes and find a mountain to climb. But don’t forget to track your elevation gain indoors! If you have the tools, track your elevation gain on the treadmill, stair climber, and/or stationary bike. While we’re at it, walking counts too. If you can measure the elevation gain, anything human-powered counts.

No Tools? Climb Stairs!

If you don’t have a way to track elevation gain, or if going uphill isn’t a part of your sport, you can still participate. One flight of stairs equals 10 feet in elevation gain. If you keep track of how many flights of stairs you climb, you can still log that elevation gain.

Share Your Progress

Since this challenge lasts all month, sharing your progress will encourage your teammates to step up, literally! Post in your team’s Facebook group. Tell everyone where you are running, riding, walking, or hiking. Share tips on how you can squeeze out a little more elevation gain. If you are posting on social media, use the hashtags #TheEverestChallenge and #PeakAthleticCollective. Be sure to tag your team as well.
