Sixty-eight teams and 518 participants took part in the June 13-26 challenge.
Hiking, swimming, gardening, running, doing laps and getting steps while vacationing in Aruba were some of the creative ways that participants from all teams rallied to compete and commit to a healthier lifestyle, according to a news release from Health Action Council in Independence.
Silvaroli from Horizon Science Academy in Cleveland averaged 68,943 average daily steps, with 965,207 total steps.

“I got most of my steps by golfing, running daily and chasing around my 2-year-old son and my dogs,” said Silvaroli in the release.
