Team Captain's Responsibilities
 Before Walk Across Arkansas starts, the Captain will:
- Recruit up to seven other walkers or three other bicycle riders or runners.

- Provide each team member with Individual Registration Form, Individual
Mileage Log, and Walk Across Arkansas Wrap-Up. These forms are in the Captain's Packet received from the Extension agent.
- Turn in the Individual Registration Forms to the county Extension office or
Site Coordinator (turns these in to county Extension office) before Walk Across Arkansas
begins.
- Ask team members to record their mileage every day on their Individual
Mileage Log, total their weekly miles, and call you with their total for the
week each Monday. Record your mileage on your own Individual Mileage Log and
add this to your team total.
- Inform the team members about the Kick-Off, Health Breaks educational
programs, Celebration and Awards Activity, and any other events during Walk
Across Arkansas.
Every Week on Monday:
- Collect the mileage walked/pounds lost* by the seven other
team members; record their mileage plus yours on the Team Captain's Log.
- Report your team's mileage/pounds lost and any success stories to your
county Extension office or Site Coordinator.

to you.

educational packets from the county Extension office and share the information
with the team members. Some county Extension agents will be offering Health
Breaks or other programs-call the agent to find out the details.
