Nov 26: Everest Ascent

Fancy climbing Everest without the frostbite?

Throughout November, every minute of activity helps your organisation climb Everest virtually.

Walk, wheel, run, cycle, swim or move in a way that works for you. Everyone can take part, whatever their fitness level. The first organisation to reach the summit wins the Everest trophy, and every organisation that makes it to the roof of the world enters a prize draw.

The summit goal. Your organisation’s target is 900 active minutes per participant - an average of 30 minutes a day. Everyone's minutes count towards the team total; there’s no individual minimum.

📅 1 - 30 November 2026

Oct 26: Monster Moves 🎃

Challenge Description:

Rise. Move. Repeat.

This October, build a regular movement habit by scoring one point for every day you complete an activity lasting 20 minutes or more.

As the shadows grow longer and the witching hour approaches, October is a great time to establish a regular movement habit before the darker months set in.

Just keep showing up in a way that works for you and each active day brings you closer to your next monster milestone.

🏆 Every five active days earns another prize-draw entry, with up to five entries available. There are 5 x £20 vouchers up for grabs, with equivalent prizes available in dollars and euros.

Sep 26: Step-tember 👣

Challenge Description:

Some is good. More is better.

Your challenge is simple: walk or wheel 25 miles during September.

After the holidays and disruption of summer, September is a great time to reset your routine and add more movement to your day. You don’t need to complete long walks or cover the distance all at once - every extra mile can benefit your physical health and mental wellbeing.

Walk the school run, take a lunchtime stroll, explore somewhere new at the weekend, use the treadmill or simply take the longer route when you can. However you accumulate your miles, it all adds up.

Complete 25 miles to earn an entry into the prize draw, with £100 worth of vouchers available.

🎫 25 walking or wheeling miles = one prize-draw entry.

Some is good. More is better. How far will you go this Step-tember? 👟🙌

Challenge Description:

Three riders. Three weeks. How far can your team go?

Grab two teammates, get on your bikes and take on The Grand Tour 2026 - a three-week team cycling challenge for riders of all levels.

From daily commutes and evening spins to mountain bike trails and big weekend rides, every cycling mile counts. Your team’s combined distance will power you up the leaderboard as you compete against teams from organisations across the UK.

You don’t need to ride together, and you don’t need to be an elite cyclist. Ride when you want, where you want - every mile you log adds to your team’s total.

Aug 26: Beat The Heat 🌡️

Challenge Description:

20 activities. One month. Keep moving.

Your challenge is simple: complete 20 activities of at least 15 minutes during August.

Summer can knock even the best routines off course. Hot weather, holidays, travel and children being off school can all make it harder to find time to move. Beat the Heat is about doing what you can, when you can, and keeping active wherever August takes you.

Walk, run, cycle, swim, stretch, train, dance or try something new - every activity counts. Choose cooler times of day, move indoors when you need to and adapt your plans to the weather.

Complete the challenge to earn an entry into the prize draw, with £100 worth of Nike vouchers available.

🎫 20 activities of 15+ minutes = one prize-draw entry.

Million Minutes for Men's Health

Challenge Description:

This June and July, we're bringing the excitement of the FIFA World Cup to a cause that really matters. Can we hit one million minutes of activity together - and show our support for men's health through the power of movement?

Did you know that one in five men die prematurely from preventable causes? Suicide remains the leading cause of death in men under 50. Yet movement, connection, and a sense of shared purpose can make a real difference. That's exactly what this challenge is built on.

Here's how it works: teams of five colleagues will be assigned a footballing nation, and log every minute of activity you do during the tournament. Walk, run, cycle, swim, hit the gym, or have a kickabout at lunch - every single minute counts towards your team's total and our shared one million minute goal.

🥇 The team with the most minutes at the end of the challenge wins a top prize
🎁 Teams logging 5,000 minutes or more go into a prize draw
🎁 Individuals logging 1,000 minutes or more go into a separate prize draw

Lace up, get moving, and let's do this - for our health, for our teams, and for the men in our lives. 💙
