edHEALTH Walking Challenge

edHEALTH, the employee health insurance collaboration, has partnered once again with Harvard Pilgrim Health Care to host its annual Walking Challenge.

Join forces with your Brandeis colleagues to compete against other Boston-area colleges and universities that are part of the edHealth collaborative. Grand prizes will be awarded to the individual at each school who walks the most steps and to the school with the highest average of steps walked during the contest. In addition, weekly prize drawings will be held at each participating school for high-achieving steppers. For additional information please see the Walking Challenge flyer (pdf).

The 2025 five week challenge runs from Monday, June 2 through Saturday, July 5th.
