FAQs

Jack Frost Challenge for Kids is specifically intended for kids under 14 years of age. Although associated with the larger Jack Frost Challenge, Jack Frost Challenge for Kids is run by our Active and Safe Routes to School team, and people signing up for the kid’s challenge receive information about bonus activities and events.

In situations where kilometers traveled aren’t as clear (such as fort building), you can log 10 minutes of play as 1 km.

Yes! You can register as an individual, 2 persons, 3 persons, 4 persons, 5 persons, and even more!

Starting during Jack Frost Challenge 2025, all kilometres are tracked automatically through our Go Manitoba platform. Create a free account a gomb.ca, and your kilometres will automatically be logged during the timeline of the challenge.

The 130 kilometre goal is a collective goal for your team/yourself to strive towards, but it is not a minimum. Even logging a few activities throughout the week will qualify you for participation prizes, or if you meet 26km during the challenge, you will be eligible for the grand prize(s). Get outside and have fun – there are no requirements to reach a minimum.

Yes, any group can sign up! Friends, families, co-workers, classmates, etc.

Typically, the challenge encourages teams of 1-5 people, however, we can accommodate larger groups as well. Teams of more than 5 will not be eligible for team kilometre prizes. 

A workplace coordinator can register their workplace/team as they would any other team. As for inputting kilometres, there is an option for ‘bulk entry’ designed to enter in all staff kilometres without making individual profiles. Track kilometres throughout the week using this spreadsheet. Enter cumulative km at the end of the week for each active mode. 

This is a challenge for ALL Manitobans to take part in. Smaller events during the week are centered in Winnipeg. 

At this time, Jack Frost Challenge is a Manitoba-based event, and we do not provide support for events or logging outside of the province.
