In 2001 after 9/11 - I needed to do something to honor the victims. So I organized a West Valley College Run Across American event for all of our Staff and Faculty and formed teams and tracked the teams progress on a web site. We had a big celebration at the start and at the finish of the event.  Each week each team would submit a spreadsheet showing what each member had done (exercise wise for the week)  various exercise activities would earn miles for the team. I also formed a West Valley run team during this same time to run in various events.
