What is Thrive Across America?

Thrive Across America is an online physical activity program where you travel from Maine to Hawaii, along a virtual route. On the way you’ll visit more than 50 of our country’s most treasured outdoor attractions, brought to life with vivid pictures and detailed descriptions.

Who can participate?

Whether you’re just starting out or an experienced exerciser, Thrive Across America gives you simple, motivating tools to track your progress and see results. With dozens of activities to choose from, you can increase activity and improve health no matter what your interests or ability.

How does it work?

Each time you record physical activity minutes, you move along a virtual route that winds through the United States, passing through America’s most exciting outdoor attractions. Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity, five days a week.

When does the program start?

Registration and team formation opens Wednesday, September 19.

You may begin recording your activity on Wednesday, October 3.

How does the team competition work?

Team participation is optional—and a lot of fun. Each day you record 30 minutes or more of physical activity, you earn a Thrive Across America star for your team. The more stars your team earns, the higher the score. Read the Questions & answers by clicking the link at the bottom of the page; then visit the Team page for more details after you register.
