Register now for the new 2017 Monash 10,000 Steps Challenge

Registrations for the new 2017 Monash 10,000 Steps Challenge are now open.

Following the great feedback received from participants last year, we have made some updates to the challenge website which we hope participants will enjoy. 

Major changes to this years’ event include:

•  A shorter 42 day event focussed on the different aspects of our health including physical, mental, nutritional and general health.
• The introduction of campus and faculty leaderboards to encourage competition and engagement
• Customised postcards as well as many other great features. 

This year’s challenge will see participants form teams of five (5), including a team captain in a virtual race covering 50 amazing locations. Starting in Italy on October 23rd, the 2017 challenge will run for 42 days, and journey through Europe, the United States and Africa.

The challenge is open to all Monash University staff, students, family and friends at the subsidised cost of $15 per person. This fee includes entry into the challenge, access to resources, and the opportunity to win prizes through weekly competitions. A pedometer is available if requested when registering.

To support the wellbeing of SCS staff and students the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health is sponsoring the registration fee for SCS personnedl wishing to participate in the event. When captains are registering their teams, they should contact SCS Reception to confirm the cost centre/fund to use.
