Ultimate Mileage Battle

UMB Ultimate Mileage Battle: Step Challenge for UMB Staff and Faculty

 

2022 Ultimate Mileage Battle: Annual Fall Step Competition

The Ultimate Mileage Battle is partnering with MoveSpring again--Let's be stronger together and get moving again! 

"Fall" in love with self-care. Moving will:

Strengthen the heart

Fight weight gain

Improve mood and memory

Boost immunity

Loosen tight muscles and joints

 

 The list goes on...

 

Get ready! Feel good with weekly recognition and goal achievements. You have opportunities to be awarded for "most improved" meeting daily goals, and participating in new "content" such as drinking water, mindful eating, sleep goals and more!

Join your school or work area or create a team of your own to compete against the others for the Step Champion Title! Please submit a team name to HRWell@umaryland.edu for proper enrollment. 

The school or area that has the highest daily step average earned between Oct 17 and Nov 20 will be the winner. Other prizes will be given during and at the end of the challenge. Different types of physical activity will count toward your steps, and you can use the new feature to convert your activity into steps.

Please remember to log in your steps every week so you don’t lose track. You will have 10 days to go back to log. (Tip: create an alarm on your calendar to prompt you to log your steps)
