I realy liked seeing the stats by km that we saw in the first few days.
After that it was not updated.
Why???
Hello, this post was a temporary solution until the main website was functioning better, it was resolved mid-way through the week as mentioned. You can see the results here: https://jackfrost.commuterchallenge.ca/results
How can participants access individual results for the 11th?
Hello, the individual results has been updated as of February 12.
Hey Kris, like an excell spreadsheet….can you freeze the first row of the results page? The one with the titles of the columns…
Hi Wendy, With this being a PDF having the titles at the top of each page break is as close as we can get to that unfortunately.
This challenge should be postponed to a week where it is not dangerous to be outside
Hello,
Thanks for your feedback. It is definitely cold out this week but that is the nature around this challenge. If people bundle up appropriately it is still possible to get outside for some fresh air, even for only a few minutes. Yes it is cold but it still feels good to get your body moving outside and it certainly wakes you up! It has been amazing to see so many people showing up and proving that no matter the weather you can get outside and still have fun, which is exactly what this challenge is all about 🙂
We do not require or encourage people to spend too long outside or that they even complete the full 130KM for your team, you’re entered to win prizes just by participating.
If you have any other questions or comments please don’t hesitate to contact me – kris@greenactioncentre.ca
Hi I’m competing as an individual and there haven’t been updated results posted since the 9th. The results posted for the 10th under individuals appear to be the group results duplicated. Can you please update the individual category? Thanks !
Hi Sean, the individual results are listed with the associated teams, we cannot list individual names for privacy concerns. Your personal kilometres are accounted for with your login information and will be more up to date than what is listed on our post.
I am feeling more cold when I am getting out of the car and back in – I had to take my son somewhere just now. I did my 8 km this early afternoon and I definitley was not that cold..In fact – on the way back I had to take my hood down and my hands were sweating like nuts! So – the right clothing definitly helps..Passed this guy twice on a fat bike — I want to try one of those. It looks like fun!
it is not dangerous to be outside. Dress appropriately for a Winnipeg winter. Please note the name and nature of the challenge, and the history of the event which has included some very cold years.
Hi Silly Sparks
I understand it was cold this past week – dressing in layers helps. I walked every day, and when I focused on movement rather than thinking “it’s cold out there” – I felt fine.
I agree more people may have participated if conditions were more favorable.
Hi Silly Sparks
I understand it was cold this past week. Dressing appropriately (in layers) and good footwear makes a difference.
I agree more people may have participated if the weather was warmer than -30 during the day.
Wow – there are some serious walkers for individuals – 23 km in 2 days?
That would have been over the course of 3 days but yes it’s some tough competition!
I have re-discovered the joy of walking outside – great for both my mental and physical health. With the colder temperatures this week, I dress in layers. I wear a balaclava which protects my face, while allowing me to breath comfortably. My only challenge is I wear glasses, and the lenses fog up occasionally.
Congratulations to everyone who is participating in this event.
Hi Cindy,
Thanks so much for your response! That is exactly the kind of thing we like to hear. Glad you are enjoying it and good luck 🙂
I just wanted to say thanks for doing these updates. I realize it must be a pain when the normal system crashes.
Thanks Steve!
Are results posted for individual competitors daily and where can I find them?
Hi Sean, I have added that list in todays update.
Is the results updated daily?
Yes they will get updated once a day.
It appears to be tracking everything as walk… is there a way to change this? Thank you.
Unfortunately, that’s a problem with the back end function of the website, at this time it displays everything as walking on the front end. For now, it will combine automatically as walking. Don’t worry, all of your km’s will still count!
You can see other FAQ’s here. https://greenactioncentre.ca/jackfrostchallenge/jack-frost-challenge-faq/
It is my first winter at home instead of in Mexico and I am enjoying being outside and visiting different parks in Winnipeg.
I noticed that Snow much Fun is listed twice in the stats.??????
I am so glad to hear you are enjoying our Manitoba winter this year and exploring new things 🙂
I took a look and there are two teams with similar names. If you have any other questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to email me at kris@greenactioncentre.ca
Kris, not sure why our team is not the updated results page. Can you look into it?

Hi Allan,
Apologies, we are checking into that for you, I will send you an email with an update asap.
Can you organize by km tracked instead of alphabetical?
Hi Stacy, I have added that as an option.
Thanks!
