The Global Challenge is a health and wellbeing event that encourages participants to complete at least 10,000 steps a day for 100 days and includes modules devoted to sleep, nutrition and life balance. The 2017 Global Challenge finished on 31 August. For the second year in a row, UNSW won the title of ‘Most Active University in Australia’. We had 153 teams and 1,071 participants; the largest entry of any university in Australia. By the end of the Challenge, 76% of participants were achieving 10,000 steps per day (up from only 18% before the challenge). Of all the staff who competed in the Global Challenge, 85% would recommend the program and 93% would like to do it again next year.
