Each monthly promotional toolkit has specific information about each Month's Challenge, including:
- A4 PDF flyer for physical printing or online sharing
- Square PNG images that can be used on social media or in your internal communications
If you need images in different size, some extra information, or have an idea on how we can help you share our Monthly Challenges, please Contact Support.
Are Monthly Challenges Right for My Organisation?
Our Monthly Challenges are available to all 10,000 Steps members with four journeys each month, and four public leaderboards. These Challenges are individual (no teams), and are available to all 10,000 Steps members.
Organisations are welcome to share Monthly Challenges as a way to promote physical activity within their workplace or community group. Sharing and displaying Monthly Challenges is a way to encourage staff and community to monitor their activity levels, with minimal administration.
Subject to our prize T&Cs, all members who complete our public Monthly Challenges go into a prize draw each month.
What if I'm running a Tournament?
Organisations running team Tournaments are also encouraged to promote Monthly Challenges in the weeks before a tournament launch to help participants to become familiar with logging their steps on 10,000 Steps.
Coordinators are also encouraged to promote Monthly Challenges at the conclusion of team Tournaments to offer your participants a continuing option to keep moving and logging their steps.
You are welcome to include our Monthly Challenges in your newsletters, staff blasts, electronic direct messages, or social media. Our Monthly Challenges Toolkits are downloadable folders with promotional material to help you promote Monthly Challenges with your workplace and community.
