Overview

Eligibility
Open to all staff and faculty.
Teams
Create teams of 1-10 people. Have each member of your team pick up a biking or walking ZAP tag and register for an account on zaptwincities.org. Have one member or your team submit your team name and roster to register for the ZAP Team Challenge. Only submit your team name and roster once all members have created a ZAP account. Team registration ends Wednesday, September 28. The challenge kicks off October 1 and ends October 31.
Get ZAPPED. Get Points.
Ride or walk through the ZAP Zone, which is between 5’ and 15’ from the ZAP reader on the corner of Summit Ave and Macalester Street. If you hear a “beep” you have been ZAPPED! It may take up to 15 minutes before your ZAP appears in your online account. Click here to find a list of all the ZAP reader locations.
Each team can earn a total of 1 point per day of the competition, with each member earning a possible division of that point (A member of a 2 person team can earn .5 points per day for their ZAP, a member of a 4 person team can earn .25 points per day for their ZAP, and so on). The team with the highest score at the end of the competition period wins!
