Pumpkin Patch Pursuit Step Challenge is Back!
HealthierU! is excited to present the Pumpkin Patch Pursuit Step Challenge from Oct 5-Nov 1.
Teams of up to 10 members will track their daily steps across the month, working together to “grow” their pumpkin patches. The number of steps will be averaged for the team each week.
