The Healthy Huskies Walking Challenge is open to faculty and staff of all campuses and all activity levels and abilities. Taking place in the summer months from Memorial Day through the 4th of July, and after the new year in January, the challenge is a great way to incorporate healthy habits into your life and have some fun with your colleagues. Show your appreciation for your body, environment, and the community!
Miles walked are logged on UConn Human Resources’ Healthy Huskies Wellness Challenge portal. Utilize educational resources, opportunities for connection with colleagues, and some friendly competition on the MS Teams page.
Drawings for prizes will be held on a weekly basis and at the end of the challenge.
Register as an individual or a team of 2 or more employees. Stay tuned for more information and the registration announcement for our next Healthy Huskies Walking Challenge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to register for each challenge if I’m already a member of the MS Teams Healthy Huskies Walking Challenge page?
Yes, each walking challenge must be registered for.
Can one team member sign up an entire team?
No, all employees must register separately and enter the exact same Team name, if they wish to be a member of a Team.
How many people can be on my team?
Each team must have a minimum of two members; there is no maximum.
Why do my miles for my team not reflect our miles walked on the Rankings board?
Each team ranking is determined based on the average number of miles walked per person on a Team. All total miles walked by the team are divided by the number of team members registered.
Why can I not find my name or Team on the rankings board?
If you have registered as a Team Member, you will be on the Team Member rankings. If you register as an Individual and not part of a Team, you will appear on the Individual rankings.
What can be logged on the Healthy Huskies Wellness portal?
All steps, walk, jogs, and runs for each day during the challenge, logged in miles.
