A step challenge is a great way to motivate participants to become happier, healthier, and more energized by recognizing the benefits of everyday activity. Offer a challenge that sparks some healthy competition and that's easy and fun for all to join with the Step It Up Challenge!
Walking & Running
This no-frills, traditional step challenge can be configured as either a team- or individual-based program and can range from two to ten weeks long. The goal is for participants to increase physical activity, improve well-being, and reach the top of the leaderboard by earning the most Wellable Points by the end of the challenge. Practical health tips will be provided during each week of the challenge to inspire and motivate participants to keep on stepping!
For an individual-based challenge, grand prizes will be awarded to the top five participants that earn the most Wellable Points at the end of the challenge. The total number of participants rewarded can be increased or decreased based on the number of participants competing and the challenge rewards budget.
For a team-based challenge, grand prizes will be awarded to all participants of the winning team that earns the most Wellable Points and makes it to the top of the leaderboard at the end of the challenge. Based on team size and the number of teams that participate, rewards can be given to participants of runner-up teams as well.
Wellable Points can be earned by tracking distance traveled from walking and running through one of Wellable's partner apps or by manually logging these activities in a Wellable User Account.
There is no limit to the number of participants that can be part of a team, so teams can be any size. Wellable recommends creating teams of between four and eight members to ensure the benefits of being part of a team are achieved while maintaining accountability.
Teams are ranked by the average number of Wellable Points for all members of a team. This means that teammates with zero Wellable Points during a challenge will lower the score of the entire team, which is why encouraging your teammates to stay active throughout the challenge is so important.
