Health Challenges

What is a 10,000 Steps Health Challenge?

The Health Challenge is a great strategy to encourage participants to be more active and participate in a fun initiative with colleagues, community members, family and friends.

From their Dashboard, 10,000 Steps members can join a current Health Challenge in their community. Once joined, any steps and health measures logged within the set dates contribute to the overall team totals. 

Please note, there is not always a Health Challenge in your area. Health Challenges are special events!

At 10,000 Steps, we can assist workplaces and communities to set up Health Challenges for their community, and these challenges evolve over time.

Please contact us if you'd like to fund a health challenge for your organisation or area!

Looking for a Tournament?

A Tournament is an organisational step challenge where workplaces or community groups form internal teams and compete with each other on a private leaderboard.

This is different to a Health Challenge, which has a public leaderboard, open registration, and one large team from each organisation, or one team for the whole challenge.

Please see 10,000 Steps for Workplaces and Communities for more information.

What is a 10,000 Steps State Challenge?

10,000 Steps state-wide Challenges organised and promoted in collaboration with our funding partners Health and Wellbeing Queensland, and Wellbeing SA. The Challenge involves setting a goal number of steps and tracking the state's collective steps for a certain timeframe to promote physical activity on a wider scale. When State Challenges are active, 10,000 Steps members steps within the specified timeframe are accumulated and displayed on a graph as well as against the overall Challenge goal.

What is a 10,000 Steps Local Challenge?

10,000 Steps Local Challenges are time or goal based Challenges where steps are accumulated using postcodes within a certain locality for a set timeframe. Area Challenges best suit large scale Local Governments and Hospital and Health Services. The first local Challenge was developed for City of Onkaparinga located in South Australia to encourage the community to incorporate more activity into their daily lives.
