2025 Monthly Employee Activity Challenges

The City of Manchester’s Wellness Committee is excited to launch our 2025 Monthly Activity Challenges!

Each month, we’ll email the challenge theme to your City email at the beginning of the month. The focus of each challenge is to encourage physical activity by logging your Active Minutes daily through the ChallengeRunner app. 

Any enjoyable physical activity, including but not limited to:

  • Walking or running
  • Rowing
  • Lifting weights
  • Biking
  • Yoga or Pilates
  • Kayaking
  • Zumba or dance
  • Peloton workouts
  • Other fitness activities you love!

You can manually enter your Active Minutes into ChallengeRunner, or sync a fitness tracker (Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Watch) to automatically track your progress. Need help? Check out the ChallengeRunner Instructions to register and sync your device.


To help encourage participation, we have weekly, high score and monthly prizes:

  • Every participant who registers for the challenge will be entered to win a $25 Amazon gift card (1 winner).
     
  • Each week, participants who track their Active Minutes, and compete the bonus activity, will be entered into a drawing for a $25 Amazon gift card (1 winner).
     
  • The top three participants, with the most Active Minutes during the month, will receive a $50 Amazon gift card (3 winners).
     
  • All participants who complete all four (4) bonus activities will be entered into a drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card (1 winner).

Let’s stay active together!
On behalf of the City of Manchester Wellness Committee, we hope you enjoy participating in this fun and motivating challenge.
