OFFICIAL RULES

NO PURCHASE OR ACTIVITY NECESSARY.  NEITHER A PURCHASE NOR AN ACTIVITY WILL IMPROVE YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING.

CONTEST DESCRIPTION:  The “Chipotle Segment Challenge Series” contest (the “Contest”) begins on or about January 2, 2024, at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time (“PT”) and ends on January 31, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. PT (the “Contest Period”).  During the Contest Period, Sponsor will hold a series of six (6) separate “Segment Challenges” (as defined below) on Strava (“Strava”) as set forth in greater detail below. Entry in the Contest does not constitute entry into any other promotion, contest or sweepstakes.  By participating in the Contest, each entrant unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with and abide by these Official Rules and the decisions of CMG Strategy Co., LLC, 610 Newport Center Drive, Suite 1400, Newport Beach, California, 92660 (“Sponsor”), which shall be final and binding in all respects.

ELIGIBILITY:  Only legal U.S. residents of the fifty (50) United States and District of Columbia who are at least thirteen (13) years of age at the time of entry and who have a Strava account (“Account”) are eligible to enter.  Officers, directors and employees of Sponsor, Strava, and each of their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors, retailers, sales representatives, advertising and promotion agencies involved in the Contest (all such individuals and entities collectively referred to herein as the “Contest Entities”), and the immediate family members and/or those residing in the same household of each are ineligible to enter the Contest or win a prize.  This Contest is void where prohibited.  If you do not have a Strava Account, you can create one for free at www.strava.com.  Use of the Strava service is subject to the Strava Terms of Use: https://www.strava.com/legal/terms; and the Strava Privacy Policy: https://www.strava.com/legal/privacy. 

HOW TO ENTER: During the Contest Period, Sponsor will offer a series of six (6) segment challenges on Strava (each a “Segment Challenge”).  Each Segment Challenge is scheduled to take place along a designated route (each, a “Segment”) in the following locations (each, a “Location”): Los Angeles, California; New York, New York; Washington D.C.; Chicago, Illinois; Columbus, Ohio; and Denver, Colorado.  Each Segment Challenge invites eligible entrants to complete the Segment by running, walking, or by wheelchair.

To enter any of the Segment Challenges, during the Contest Period, eligible entrants must log into their Strava Account and enroll in the applicable Segment Challenge and select whether the entrant will complete the Segment by running, walking, or by wheelchair.  During the Contest Period, each entrant will have the opportunity to complete the Segment as many times as she or he is able.  To record Segments that count towards the applicable Segment Challenge, eligible entrants must (i) record the activity while logged into their Strava Account; or (ii) record the activity while using a fitness tracker app that is compatible with and linked to their Strava Account (the “Recording Methods”).  Only activity that is recorded to the entrant’s Strava Account through the Recording Methods during the Contest Period will be counted towards the entrant’s completion of the applicable Segment Challenge.  Any activity uploaded manually to the Strava app will not be counted towards the Segment Challenge.  Your Strava account must be public in order to enter the Contest.

At the end of the Contest Period, the entrant who completes the Segment the most times during the Contest Period will be the winner.  Entrants will have the opportunity to track their performance on a leaderboard for each Segment Challenge Location.

Limit one (1) entry per eligible entrant per Segment Challenge.  Entry must be made by the entrant, only through the entry method described above.  Entries made by any other individual or any entity, and/or originating at any other web site or e-mail address, including but not limited to commercial sweepstakes subscription notification and/or entering service sites, will be declared invalid and disqualified for this Contest.  Tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest, including but not limited to the use of any device to automate the entry process, is prohibited and any entries deemed by Sponsor, in its sole discretion, to have been submitted in this manner will be void.  In the event a dispute regarding the identity of the individual who submitted an entry cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the affected entry will be deemed ineligible.  The Contest Entities shall not be responsible for incorrect or inaccurate entry information whether caused by Internet users or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or used in the Contest or by any technical or human error which may occur in processing of the entries in the Contest.  The Contest Entities assume no responsibility or liability for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, theft or destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of entries.

WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION:  At the end of the Contest Period, Sponsor will determine the winner for each Segment Challenge based on the final Leaderboard results. The entrant who completes the Segment the highest number of times during the Contest Period sports will be the winner for the applicable Segment Challenge.  In the event that two or more entrants are tied, the tied winners will each be awarded a prize.

The potential winners will be subject to verification and compliance with these Official Rules.  Sponsor shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential winner for any reason.  If, despite reasonable efforts, a potential winner does not respond within the time period specified in the winner notification, or if the prize or winner notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential winner, such potential winner will forfeit his or her prize and an alternate winner may be selected.  If any potential winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules or declines a prize for any reason prior to award, such potential winner will be disqualified, and an alternate winner may be selected. Sponsor may successively attempt to contact up to two (2) potential winners of an applicable prize in accordance with such procedure, and if there is still no confirmed winner(s) of such applicable prize after such attempts have been made, if any, the corresponding prize may go unawarded.

PRIZES: One (1) prize is available in each Segment Challenge.

The winners of each Segment Challenge will receive “Lifestyle Bowls for a Year” (as defined below). Each “Lifestyle Bowls for a Year” prize consists of Chipotle Rewards credits good for one (1) free regular entrée per week for a year, or a total of up to fifty-two (52) regular entrée items.  The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of the Lifestyle Bowls for a Year Prize is Five Hundred and Seventeen Dollars and Forty Cents ($517.40). The ARV of all prizes is $3,104.40.

For clarity purposes, “regular entrée item” means a burrito, burrito bowl, quesadilla (only available through digital orders), single order of tacos, or salad, subject to availability.  Does not include kid’s meals or three pointers.  The Chipotle Rewards credits will expire one (1) year from the date that the Chipotle Rewards credits are delivered to a Chipotle Rewards account.  A free Chipotle Rewards account is required to claim the prize.  If a winner does not have a Chipotle Rewards account, the winner can create one for free at the time of award.

No cash alternative or substitution of prizes will be allowed, except Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to substitute prize(s) of comparable value if any prize listed is unavailable, in whole or in part, for any reason. 

GENERAL PRIZE CONDITIONS:  Prizes will be awarded only if each potential prize winner fully complies with these Official Rules.  All portions of the prize(s) are non-assignable and non-transferable.  Prizes pictured in point-of-sale, online, television and print advertising, promotional packaging, and other Contest materials are for illustrative purposes only.  All details and other restrictions of the prize(s) not specified in these Official Rules will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.  No cash alternative or substitution of the prize(s) will be allowed, except Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to substitute prize(s) of comparable value if any prize listed is unavailable, in whole or in part, for any reason.  Each prize winner shall be solely responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes, and the reporting consequences thereof, and for any other fees or costs associated with the applicable prize.  Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, deduct or withhold the amount of applicable tax on any cash or cash equivalent prize.  The Sponsor will issue and file an IRS Form 1099 or equivalent tax withholding documentation for the retail value of any prize or other items of value transferred to each prize winner by the Sponsor in accordance with IRS requirements, and the Sponsor may also share such documentation with a state or local government agency as required by law. Refusal or failure of each prize winner to satisfy the requirements of all necessary and appropriate tax, withholding or other required compliance terms (including Social Security number, IRS Form W­8BEN, IRS Form W­9, or equivalent information), as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion, may result in each prize winner forfeiting the prize(s) and an alternate potential winner may be selected in accordance with these Official Rules. Sponsor will award prizes subject to any applicable withholding taxes, and the amount of the prize transferred, as reduced by any applicable withholding taxes, will constitute full payment of the prize, as applicable.  Each potential winner will be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and (where imposing such condition is legal) a Publicity Release (collectively, “Prize Claim Documents”).
