I heard there is going to be a launch event on December 6th, what's that all about?

Good question, and you guessed correctly, it is also going to be virtual. Well... not quite. We will be streaming a small group event within the Whitehall Avenue community. The streaming platforms will be the Cloud Conferencing application, ZOOM, and with that, YouTube as well. We will have a host, along with other representatives of the church and/or other individuals who have volunteered to be on camera, all while performing the various physical activities live for a 1-2 hour period we like to call 'D-Day'. Viewers at home can tune in from their couch to get a taste of the virtual 5k experience, and jumpers can join the ZOOM platform with cameras activated for the world to see them jumping for the cause. Subscribe to our YouTube channel and hit the notification bell to see it all at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVoSuPfxtUBufYih_DflbUg


 

Why do I have to install the applications in order to participate?

The applicatons will help us to track your activities and make you a little more accountable in completing your task. While we do appreciate your contributions and recognize that the primary aim of the event is to raise funds for the disclosed causes of health and education in our community, we do sincerely wish that all would experience good health, especailly at such a time as this. There will also be a submission link made available on this website starting the week of December 6th for individuals to submit screenshots of their finish.



Is there a prize or award for finishing in the top 3 positions?

You will be awarded a virtual certificate for finishing in the top 3 and for participating, sent to yor email a few weeks after the events ends.


Does using the applications mean I need to have my phone on my person?

The apps track your motion using sensor technology inbuilt in your phone, so it means you need to keep the phone in your hand while moving. Alternatively you can also use an arm belt to tie the phone to your arm, keep the phone in your pocket, or if you have a smart watch, see a list of compatible smart watches that work with the Strava App below: https://www.wareable.com/running/strava-compatible-watches



Do jumpers need an invite for their app?

No. Jumpers simply need to complete their repetitions within the specified time and submit their screenshot for proof of completion via the submission link made available starting the week of December 6th.



I want to connect to the ZOOM platform and showcase my jumps on Dec. 6th, how do I?

A zoom link will be posted on this page on Dec. 6th for those who wish to jump on camera and get a chance to be seen all across the world. Inappropriate attire and/or other unacceptable activity is strictly prohibited.
