Teamwork Makes Dreamwork

Everyone who signs up will be part of the same team. As a group, our combined activity will unlock five Minnesota regions as the challenge advances. Learn more about the year-round fun that awaits you across Minnesota including:

• Tour historic caves
• Find new places to pick apples
• Discover Minnesota’s two International Dark Sky certified areas
• Plan a fall colors getaway
• Look forward to winter activities including skating the longest ice path in America and a dogsledding adventure

Share photos, ideas

Stop by the chat section of the Tour de Minnesota page. If you’d like, share photos of your fish, plants, campsite, clean car, or whatever activity you take on. Offer insights on where to go, people to see and things to do so other participants get ideas from your fun.

Earn Points, Get Rewarded

Track your activity at least one day each week of the challenge to earn points. If you track your activities and the group completes the challenge, you earn 100 points toward your well-being reward. Earn 300 points by Oct. 31, 2023, and if you’re eligible you get $70 off your individual deductible next year.
