The 21 Days of Winter Wellness Challenge encourages participants to become more aware of the several pillars of wellness that contribute to overall health! To receive credit, participants must log into ChallengeRunner and check which activities they completed. While it is recommended that participants log at least one activity a day, you have up to three days post-challenge to log any remaining data. This is intended to be a fun, educational, and engaging experience for you and your coworkers! To that end, please check off an activity only if you completed it within the challenge time period starting on 2/4. Proof of completion for activities is not required, so please play on your honor!
In addition, every participant who records a minimum of 15 activities will receive a participation certificate.
Upon challenge registration, you will select your school or department’s team to join by clicking the orange button, "Join" on the homepage. If you cannot find your team, please contact BeWell.
In the leaderboard, each participant can see how many activities they have recorded. Other participants' names will not be seen.
If you link a fitness tracker, its data will automatically be synced, and you cannot override it.
30 different activities covering fitness, nutrition, lifestyle, safety, and mental health, which participants can choose to attempt within the time frame.
Activities linked to fitness trackers will be automatically updated daily, but you will only receive credit for completing the activity once.
The ability to join the challenge anytime during the 21 days.
