Registrations open for the 10,000 Steps Challenge

Published: 30 July 2008

Get your walking shoes on, the Monash September 10,000 Steps Challenge is on again! The 2008 challenge will start on Monday 15 September as a virtual walk visiting all Monash University campuses and finish on Thursday 16 October.

Participants are encouraged to form teams of eight (led by a team captain) which can consist of Monash staff, family or friends, or students.

To achieve 10,000 steps in a day, participants will need to couple their usual daily activities together with a 30 minute walk. The number of steps walked per day can be counted using pedometers which will be included as part of each participant's challenge pack.

Team progress can be monitored by the team members using the 10,000 steps website.

A launch event will take place at the Berwick campus on Monday 15 September at 10 am.
