Get on Track Challenge

Get On Track is a health and wellbeing event that encourages participants to increase their activity levels in a fun, team-based challenge.

Local Challenge

We've named the UNSW Get on Track Challenge the "Local Challenge". It will be available to all staff and students of UNSW, plus family members! 

How it Works

  • Teams can have up to four members.
  • Team members track steps using their own devices, then input step counts via the website. Other exercise (eg. cycling, swimming) is converted into steps on the website.
  • Team members also input their fruit, vegetable, and water intake, as well as their hours of sleep.
  • Fruit and vegetable intake is converted into steps, with bonuses for meeting daily targets.
  • All staff, students and family members of UNSW can participate.
  • The Local Challenge is free!
