October in Boulder means beautiful weather, colorful leaves, sweaters, pumpkin spice … and the Go-Tober Business Challenge! Get your team signed up now by registering on the Way to Go website here, then get ready to compete for fun prizes as you track your trips by any mode other than driving alone.
Each fall, we collaborate with the Way to Go program of the Denver Regional Council of Governments on this fun challenge to see who can log the most shared and active trips throughout October. Join the many Boulder businesses that have excelled in this friendly challenge, including Pet Sustainability Coalition, UCAR, and La Sportiva.
What it is:
- A monthlong challenge inviting workers to log their sustainable trips
- Easy to track trips on the MyWayToGo.org platform
- People are eligible to win prizes each week (track at least two trips per employee per week for the best chance to win!)
- People who track at least 8 trips per month will enter a drawing for a $250 cash gift card
- Other prizes include two Patagonia jackets, Cotopaxi bags, Bustang tickets and more!
- Businesses join a leaderboard to track engagement against other businesses around the region
