Join the 6th Annual Sprig Walking Challenge at AAPD 2026
Participate in some friendly competition with your peers as you work your way up the leaderboard and try to exceed the Sprig Walking Challenge goals to win prizes! In addition to competing as an individual, you can form a team and compete against other teams based on average points (3 active members per team to be qualified). As further motivation, you can also see how you stack up against your teammates on the Team Leaderboard!
Please note that the Challenge is an experience reserved exclusively for our registered event attendees. We invite all our exhibitors to cheer on our participants but note that exhibitors are ineligible for participation and prizes.
