This structure combines accountability with flexibility and lets not forget community!

2. Corporate Virtual RunWalk (Self-Led Program)
A flexible option ideal for remote teams, multi-location organizations, or workplaces seeking a self-directed wellness initiative. Employees may participate individually on their own schedule or as part of a workplace-organized group, depending on how your organization chooses to implement the program.
Important – Self-Led Program Responsibilities
The Corporate Virtual RunWalk Program is a self-led program.
- SportMedBC does not provide coaches, leaders, or facilitated sessions for this option.
- Organizations may choose to designate an internal leader to coordinate optional group meetups, but this is not required.
- Employees may also participate entirely on their own, completing sessions independently on their own time.
SportMedBC provides the structured training plan, digital resources, and educational content. All group organization, leadership, or facilitation—if desired—is the responsibility of the participating organization.
How the weekly sessions work:
- All three sessions are completed independently
- Optional group meetups may occur only if organized internally by the workplace
- No SportMedBC-led in-person or virtual sessions
- Training fits any schedule
- Works across departments, locations, and time zones
