It is also a world-class conference and meeting facility that hosts thousands of events each year for sophisticated clients from around the globe.

Join the National Press Club’s September Step Challenge!

Team up with coworkers, friends or family and step your way into Fall -- with the aim to be the highest stepping team! Wear your step tracking device throughout the competition, submit your tally, and you could win one of our prizes in the following categories: 
1) Top Journalist Steppers 
2) Top Communicator Steppers 
3)Top Student Steppers 
4) Most Creative Team Name 
5) Most Improved Team from week 1 to week 4
All registration fees will go to the NPC Staff Support Fund, which helps staff members who have been furloughed due to a slowdown in business operations caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

WHAT YOU NEED
All you’ll need is a device to track your daily step counts (e.g. pedometer, Fitbit, Apple Watch, iPhone/Apple Health App, Google Fit, Garmin fitness tracker, etc.). 

FORM A TEAM
Use the next week to form your team of 4, select your team name, and team captain. The Team Captain must be an NPC member, but the rest of the team doesn&#x27;t have to be -- so feel free to rally your neighbors, co-workers, family and friends. 
Team captains will be the main point of contact during the challenge and will be responsible for reporting weekly step totals. Team standings will also be reported weekly, so you can see how you’re stacking up against the competition. 

TEAM CAPTAINS &#x27;TO-DO&#x27;
Please make sure everyone on your team registers by noon on Friday, August 28 and includes your team name in the registration form. Get creative! (There are prizes, people! Prizes!) 

If you’re interested in participating in the step challenge, but don’t have a team, don&#x27;t worry! We can assign you to one.

Additional information and guidelines about the step challenge will be emailed once teams are formed.
