The 2016 TeamstersCare Steps Challenge Is Coming Soon!

Do you have what it takes to inspire others to take steps toward better health? Or maybe you’d rather just join up quietly? Whatever your role, you can help your team win big by exceeding your daily step goal in the 2016 TeamstersCare Steps Challenge!

Walk your way toward better health, enjoy some healthy competition with your coworkers, and earn 25 wellness points to redeem for a $25 gift card.

Enrollment begins on January 11, 2016. The challenge begins January 18, 2016.

Individual success To successfully complete this challenge and be eligible for your 25 wellness points, you will need to log 294,000 steps within six weeks—an average of 7,000 steps a day, using your Fitbit® device.

Team success Wellness points are earned individually, and team rankings are based on the team’s step average. The team with the highest average number of steps at the end of six weeks will be the winner! Participants on the winning team will receive a Teamsters Local 25 fleece jacket.
