An Introduction to Our Wellness in Community Campaign

Join fellow employees in a campus-wide movement challenge as we kick off our Wellness in Community campaign—designed to support long-term wellness habits, create meaningful connections between employees across academic and health campuses, and add a spark of friendly competition!

🏃 How It Works:

• Challenge Dates: August 1st to 31st 

• Tracking Miles: Participants can log walking or running miles only.

• Daily Limit: A maximum of 20 miles per day will count toward the challenge.

• Logging Options:

  • Sync your miles through a wearable fitness tracker (e.g., Fitbit, Apple Watch, Garmin, etc.)

  • Or manually enter miles directly into the tracking platform

• Back Logging: You can upload past miles for up to 3 days after the date of activity

• Day-by-Day Scoring: Miles will be recorded and counted by the day they were completed, not by upload date.

🏆 Why Join?

• Meet and engage with other employees across campus

• Start building consistent, healthy habits with peer support

• Compete for fun & prizes—and maybe a few bragging rights!

Let’s stride into September together and make wellness a shared experience!

Take steps toward better health all semester long! Our Continuous Step Challenge is designed to keep you moving—whether it’s a walk across campus, a stroll on the Jag Fitness Trail, laps around the indoor track, or simply getting your steps in throughout the day. This easy, ongoing challenge makes it simple to stay active, boost your wellness, and add more movement into your routine. Every step counts—indoors, outdoors, and everywhere in between—so lace up, start walking, and track your progress toward a healthier you!

How It Works

• Sign Up & Connect Your Device
• Create an account on your activity tracker’s website (Fitbit, Apple, Garmin, etc.).
• Log in to ChallengeRunner.com.
• Go to Profile > Authorize and sign in with your tracker account. This gives Challenge Runner permission to pull your step data.

Sync Your Steps

• Make sure your device syncs to its app or website at least once a day so your steps show up.
• If you miss a day, no problem—you have up to 5 days to sync past steps.
• No Tracker? No Problem!
• You can manually enter steps on the Challenge Runner website or app.
