We will be remembering the journey of our ancestors through the Trail of Tears virtual walk. Participants will be walking 620 miles over the course of 3 months. Participants who walk a daily amount of 14,000 steps or more a day will sign up as solo (team of 1). Those who walk a daily amount of 10,000 sign up as a team of two and those who walk 5,000 or less steps will sign up as a team of 3.
Instructions
Download the Walker Tracker app on your mobile phone (App Store or Google Play). The first time using the app, an account will need to be created, even if you had a previous account. Create an account via the app itself or online. To connect to our program (Choctaw Virtual Journey) when registering via the app, enter https://choctawvirtualjourney2023.thrives.app/my-dashboard as your program URL. Next, you will enter your name, email, a username, and a password.
To create a team or join a team, have your first teammate create a team so the other member(s) can choose it while creating their accounts. For this virtual journey, you can have up to three members on a team. If you are joining this journey solo you still need to create a team name.
Participants who walk a daily amount of 14,000 steps or more a day will sign up as solo (team of 1). Those who walk a daily amount of 10,000 sign up as a team of two and those who walk 5,000 or less steps will sign up as a team of 3.
When you get started, the Virtual Trail of Tears Journey will automatically show up on your dashboard. You can take a look at the map of the route, but you will not be able to see the points of interest markers until you reach each point on the route. Once your account is created, you will be able to view instructional documents and videos to finish setting up your account and help tying it to your step tracker of choice.
