Step Boldly into the UB Step Challenge

The UB Step Challenge promotes wellness by encouraging you to take more steps during the day.

Remember to practice social distancing--6 feet apart--if you walk with someone. Stay safe at home if you're sick!

You can use supported activity tracking devices to record the number of daily steps you take and transmit this number into the ChallengeRunner.com system. The totals of those steps are compared against one another, and a real-time leaderboard shows team progress.

  • Detailed instructions on how to register and enroll your activity tracker are available at https://www.challengerunner.com/docs/ChallengeRunner-User-Quick-Start-Guide.pdf.
  • We recommend syncing your device every day. However, you may take up to seven days after the log date to sync data.
  • ChallengeRunner supports activity trackers but does not require them. You can also enter your own data using the ChallengeRunner website, texting to (513) 393-8847 or using the ChallengeRunner smartphone app (available in the App Store or Google Play) that you link to your health/activity app on your phone.

Challenge Milestones take place at the following step levels: 10K, 25K, 50K, 100K, 150K, 200K, 300K, 400K, 500K.

The UB Step Challenge runs for 30 days. Each week, a randomly selected group of 10 participants who have recorded daily steps will receive a $25 gift card. At the challenge close, participants with the top number of recorded steps will receive:

  • First place: AirPods Pro
  • Second to sixth place: FitBit
  • Seventh to tenth place: Swag bag
  • Most improved: FitBit
  • Alumni participant: Swag bag

Also:

  • The three teams with the highest average number of steps overall will receive swag bags.
  • Participants who post to the Step Challenge social media channels using the hashtag #UBStepsBoldly will have the opportunity to receive occasional prizes.
