Fly Well: Employee Step Challenge - Midwest Adventure Edition!

September 10, 2026
Team up and get ready for a 6-week adventure across the Midwest!

Gather a team of six employees and get ready to move more, connect with colleagues, and have some fun along the way. Whether you walk, roll, bike, swim, garden, dance, or move in another way, all activity counts and can be converted to steps for the challenge.

Each week, your team will make its way to a new Midwest destination, with fun facts, wellbeing tips, and optional activities to keep you moving and engaged. A weekly leaderboard will track team step totals throughout the adventure.

This challenge is about more than steps—it’s an opportunity to support your physical wellbeing, connect with colleagues, and have fun together. Participants who complete the challenge will also receive a free FlyWell Challenge T-shirt, available for pickup at Cardinal Day of Wellbeing on Thursday, November 5. Watch for more information about Cardinal Day throughout the challenge!

Registration is open! Now is the time to:
  • Gather your team of six employees
  • Choose your team captain
  • Pick a fun team name
  • Collect email addresses and shirt sizes for everyone on your team

Once the challenge begins, team members will track their activity each week and share their step totals with their team captain. The captain will combine the team’s totals and submit them each week.
