Outdoor Adventure Challenge


Are you looking for a study break? Getting outside even for a short walk is a great way to ease stress and help us relax and think more clearly.

The basic premise of the Outdoor Adventure Challenge is for you to get outside and hike, bike, scooter, skateboard, swim...etc. in the shape of whatever image you would like to create (see example of the dinosaur on the previous page). You can create this image by downloading a free app on your phone (like Strava, Nike Run Club, Map My Run or Map My Hike) that will track your movements. Your image can be as large or as small as you would like it to be. If you have enough time to run through an entire city, great, but you can also create an image on a small grassy park as well.

For best results, we recommend that you draw out and plan your route on a map (such as google maps) so you know how to draw your shape BEFORE you turn on the tracking app on your phone.

Once you are done with your activity, send us a photo or screenshot of the image you created for a chance to win some of our fun outdoor themed prizes including Hammocks, Beach Towels, Backpacks, and More!!!

To get credit for your submission, please send us your creation on instagram @sjsu_outdooradventures or email us at sjsuoutdooradventures@gmail.com before midnight on Friday May 14
