ARB Places 4th and 9th in MECPA Exercise Challenge

On November 15^th, Albin, Randall and Bennett finished the last day of the six-week “Commit to Fit” challenge hosted by the MECPA. With only six weeks to travel the 352 miles from Kittery to Eastport, Maine, ARB has been busy!

In an effort to promote wellness, the Maine Society of Certified Public Accountants created a distance challenge in which participants tracked their daily step count and converted their activity into miles.  Each team had eight players, all of whom were responsible for logging their daily activity either using a step converting algorithm or a fitness tracker.

Beginning on October 4^th, the challenge included 68 participants on 14 different teams. ARB had such a large number of staffers anxious to participate, we had to split into two teams – ARB Squad 1 and 2!  Although we did not win first place, ARB Squad 1 placed 4^th and ARB Squad 2 placed 9^th.  Additionally, we had seven ARBers place in the top 30 (Jenn Lemay 7^th, Carly Biegel 10^th, Rachel Diebold 15^th, Kim Adams 17^th, Sam Pedersen 19^th, Matt Brand 25^th, and Gisele Couturier 29^th)!

Congratulations to all participants, and to the ARB staff for dedicating the last six weeks to staying fit and finding fun ways to stay active. Go team!
