Alaska Airlines giving out miles for exercising in latest sweepstakes!

Alaska Airlines has partnered with Strava to hand out a total of 250,000 miles to 8 lucky fitness enthusiasts who participate in their new Miles on the Ground Sweepstakes:

Alaska Airlines President and cycling-enthusiast, Ben Minicucci, is rising to the challenge––and he wants you to join him. If you log at least 360 minutes of physical activity (45 minutes a day/4 times a week or 30 minutes a day/6 times a week––anything that adds up!) between May 16 and May 30, 2020, you’ll be qualified for a chance to win up to 100,000 miles.

While you’re not flying through the skies, you might be flying through your workouts!
