Organizers say some participants may be eligible to receive a pedometer while supplies last.

Participants can register online, by phone, or via QR code, and those who took part in previous years may already be enrolled automatically.

Officials say the initiative is designed to encourage healthier habits while fostering community engagement, with each logged activity contributing to both individual wellness and the participant’s town's standing in the competition.
