Iditarod Fitness Challenge
In an effort to encourage fitness, our Physical Education Specialist created a school wide Iditarod Fitness Challenge. He has put a map of Alaska and the Iditarod Trail with all the checkpoints on the wall of the gymnasium. Each class, in our school there are 25, has its own husky dog that serves as a marker to move from checkpoint to checkpoint. Each of the 25 huskies starts in Anchorage, and it has the name of the classroom teacher on it to differentiate between classes. Classes may move a certain number of checkpoints if the entire class reaches a predetermined fitness warm-up level (see below). The first class in each grade level to get their husky from Anchorage to Nome gets a Physical Education activity of their choice.
WEEKLY IDITAROD FITNESS
March 1-5: Push-ups, Sit-ups, and Running
March 8-12: Jump Rope, Pull-ups, and Sit-ups
March 15-19: Running, Jump Rope, and Push-ups
• The warm-up activities coincide with the Presidential Fitness Standards. • Predetermined numbers may need to be adjusted according to class/school size. • Our school, Wilshire Park, has kindergarten (not included in challenge due to � day) though
fifth grade. • Our first grade classrooms average 20 students, and second through fifth average between 25-30
students. • The following are the Iditarod Fitness Challenge activities. There is a brief description of the
activity and a grade level goal for class totals needed to move checkpoints.
Push-ups- one-minute time (straight back touching partner�s fist/ can do modified knee if need be)
First Grade
400 (class total) push-ups = move 3 checkpoints
350 (class total) push-ups = move 2 checkpoints
100 (class total) or more = move 1 checkpoint
Second Grade
500 (class total) push-ups = move 3 checkpoints
400 (class total) push-ups = move 2 checkpoints
100 (class total) or more = move 1 checkpoint
Third Grade
600 (class total) push-ups = move 3 checkpoints
500 (class total) push-ups = move 3 checkpoints
100 (class total) or more = move 1 checkpoint
Fourth Grade
700 (class total) push-ups = move 3 checkpoints
600 (class total) push-ups = move 3 checkpoints
100 (class total) or more = move 1 checkpoint
Fifth Grade
900 (class total) push-ups = move 3 checkpoints
750 (class total) push-ups = move 3 checkpoints
100 (class total) or more = move 1 checkpoint
Sit-ups- one-minute time
First Grade

Fifth Grade
900 (class total) push-ups = move 3 checkpoints
850 (class total) push-ups = move 3 checkpoints
100 (class total) or more = move 1 checkpoint
Running- When 1 runner stops the class is done!
All Grade levels
10 minutes continuous running/jogging by everyone = move 3 checkpoints
5 minutes continuous running/jogging by everyone = move 2 checkpoints
Less than 5 minutes running/jogging by everyone = move 1 checkpoint
Jump Rope- Partners will �tag team� with one another to last as long as they can. They must always have one person jumping. When 1 jumper stops the class is done!
All Grade levels
10 minutes continuous running/jogging by everyone = move 3 checkpoints
5 minutes continuous running/jogging by everyone = move 2 checkpoints
Less than 5 minutes running/jogging by everyone = move 1 checkpoint
Pull-ups- Student must do most of the work (teacher can assist pull-ups by lifting on ankles)
First Grade
80 (class total) pull-ups = move 3 checkpoints
60 (class total) pull-ups = move 2 checkpoints
Less than 60 pull-ups (class total) or more = move 1 checkpoint
Second Grade
110 (class total) pull-ups = move 3 checkpoints
90 (class total) pull-ups = move 2 checkpoints
Less than 90 pull-ups (class total) or more = move 1 checkpoint
Third Grade
125 (class total) pull-ups = move 3 checkpoints
105 (class total) pull-ups = move 2 checkpoints
Less than 105 pull-ups (class total) or more = move 1 checkpoint
Fourth Grade
150 (class total) pull-ups = move 3 checkpoints
120 (class total) pull-ups = move 2 checkpoints
Less than 120 pull-ups (class total) or more = move 1 checkpoint
Fifth Grade
175 (class total) pull-ups = move 3 checkpoints
140 (class total) pull-ups = move 2 checkpoints
Less than 140 pull-ups (class total) or more = move 1 checkpoint
