Step to it challenge

Step to it challenge - healthy habits start here

Step to it is a family-friendly activity challenge that motivates people of all ages and abilities to become more physically active from May 1-28. It's free, open to everyone, and a great way to get active after the long winter.

Registration begins April 1.

Anyone can join and participate individually or in a group. Schools, workplaces, faith communities, and neighborhoods can form a group and participate together. Find others using the hashtag #StepToIt on social media like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
