Human Powered Movement Competitions - FAQs


Why Competitions?

  • Our mission is to inspire more activity in people's lives. Each of these events do exactly that
  • Our events truly have an impact on the community as a whole
    • We source giveaways and prizes locally and sustainably to support local and small businesses
    • We bring friends, families, and communities together 
    • We give back to local non-profits that have an impact in their work
  • There are countless "traditional" events out there. We  produce non-traditional events for those looking for something extra or a way to stretch their human powered capabilities.
  • We get the same thrill out of these events as the participants!
Human Powered Movement - Rocky River Shiver - Cash Payout

How do these competitions support non-profits?

  • ​100% of donations during registration go directly to various environmental non-profits to support their missions.
  • At each event, we collect old shirts (cotton, polyester, blended) to be recycled in Recover's 360 Closed Loop Apparel Recycling Program and old sneakers to be recycled/repurposed with GotSneakers.
  • Additionally, as of 2025, Human Powered Movement no longer automatically distributes safety pins to participants at our events. Read more about another environmentally focused initiative that we've introduced to our events and community to further support Momma Nature.
