Each participant must create an individual Howdy Health account and will be responsible for their daily mileage entry. League Commissioners or Team Captains do not have the ability to register additional participants or enter Team Member mileage, outside of their own.

This is an enhancement we are currently working on and this will be available to participants in the near future.  If you created a team and then discover you need to associate that team to a league, please submit a ticket for your request.  In your request, include your team name (or team code) and the league name (or league code) that you need the team to be associated with.

Please note that if your team is in a league, team captains and team members are only able to view members on their respective team, not the members on other teams. This is in respect to personal data protection concerns.  League commissioners are the only entity capable of seeing all individual members of all teams in the league.  The 'View League' section allows you to view the total miles of each team in the league.

It's important to note that a participant must be a team member on an active Walk Through Texas History team to have the option to enter steps.
