Good morning Steemit!

Just spent the morning hanging out with my new baby nephew Toby, but now he's allowed me to come and award some Steem for some awesome entries this week! This week we wanted you to get out on a walk/run/bike ride and you guys delivered. We had some great entries and the return of many regular faces, which I loved.

I'm sure that each week the challenge will grow and grow - the bigger it gets, the bigger the prizes will be so make sure you share the challenge on your own pages so that as many people can join in as possible. The more people that join in and get behind the challenge, the more prize money we can offer!

The Winners this week!

Once again, our panel of judges and myself have looked through all of the entries and taken time to try and work out our favourites. Here you'll find the winners and also some honourable mentions! Without further ado, let's look at which entries came 1st, 2nd and 3rd this week.

1st Place wins 30 Steem

Hive account@glennolua takes us on a long mountain bike ride in South San Jose, California. The post shows you everything from where the ride was, to the route and elevation change/distance covered to, of course, the beautiful places seen a long the way. This area of America looks absolutely beautiful and it has definitely inspired me to want to visit and to want to get out and go mountain biking!

2ndPlace wins 10 Steem

Hive account@captainsailor takes us on a walk around Istanbul

https://steemit.com/health/@captainsailor/walking-above-istanbul-health-challenge

Istanbul is a huge city, established over thousands of years as a centre of trade and culture for many different civilisations. Hive account@captainsailor takes us around the city to see the more green spaces of the place and to show us that it's not just stone and concrete! The views from the vantage point that the walk takes us to is amazing and that certainly should inspire more people to go and find look outs over their cities!

3rd Place wins 5 Steem

Hive account@felixrodriguez walks through a theme park in Mérida- Venezuela

Well done Hive account@felixrodriguez, you deserve to come in the top 3!

Hive account@martere joins us again this week with a walk that lead all the way to the most amazing beach - definitely a good reason to get out walking! Last but not least Hive account@norkamoran took us on a walk in Parque Vereda del Lago in Venezuela, right by the sea. This looks like an amazing resource for local people to use to keep fit! Thanks for sharing.
