Get moving to the top of the Team Vitality leaderboard
We've launched a new Team Vitality leaderboard that allows you to compete against other athletes in SA. Where will you place? Top performers will win fantastic prizes!
Have you heard? You can now compete with your friends and family, and other athletes around South Africa on the brand new Team Vitality leaderboard. Aim to reach the top of our leaderboard to win those fantastic prizes, like a personalised Team Vitality T-shirt.
There are Top Performer awards: Finish the quarter as a top performer and win a personalised Team Vitality training shirt at the quarterly prize giving ceremony.
PLUS win awards depending on where you are on our leaderboard: The top 10 athletes in each category for both running and cycling will be updated at the end of each month and the final winner will be announced soon after each quarter closes.
- Top athlete: The runner or cyclist who racks up the most kilometres overall for the quarter
- Best newbie: Someone who joined Team Vitality in the past 12 months and has run or cycled their way to the top of the leaderboard
- Best young athlete: A promising, rising star between the ages of 18 to 25 who has achieved the most kilometres for the quarter
- Best 65+ athlete: The runner or cyclist aged 65 or over who has achieved the most kilometres for the quarter.
But that's not all...
For those of you making great efforts to improve your running and cycling game, we have prizes for your stellar efforts. Send us an email explaining why you or someone you know should get an "A for effort" for the quarter. Nominations can be sent to teamvitality@discovery.co.za in these categories:
Most improved: You've taken initiative in completing your first 5 km or you've grown in leaps and bounds with your fitness goals. Your efforts haven't gone unnoticed!
Most consistent athlete: Come rain or shine, you've remained consistent in your training schedule, performance or event participation. We see you!
The Spirit Award: You embody the meaning of community, whether by rallying your fellow team members to enter events or encouraging them and acknowledging their achievements. This award recognises your team spirit!
Wait, there's more...
You don't only have to be at the top of one of the leaderboards to win - we are also running quarterly prize draws with great spot rewards. You have to complete a challenge for an entry into the draw, and Vitality members will get an extra entry for every Vitality Active Rewards exercise goal you achieve for the quarter. PLUS, Team Vitality members earn double entries!
So, as a Team Vitality member, you will receive 10 bonus entries and two extra entries for every Vitality Active Rewards exercise goal you achieve for the quarter.
You will receive a monthly email with an update on your total number of entries, as well as your position on the running and cycling leaderboards. You can also view your progress at any time on the respective leaderboards.
Note: You can only win a category award once in a calendar year, but you can win the same award for both running and cycling.
