GET ACTIVE
Looking for a fun way to boost wellbeing and connection in your workplace? The Sport Manawatū Workplace Challenge is back and this year, we’re teaming up with local tech legends Nodero, who are building a brand-new digital activity tracker to help you and your team stay on top of your movement.
Whether you’re already active or just starting out, this four-week challenge is all about moving more together. Aim for 10,000+ steps a day, take part in challenge boosters, and enjoy some friendly motivation (plus spot prizes!) along the way.
It’s easy to join, fun to do, and a great way to build energy, connection, and wellbeing at work.
Register your team of four now (or as an individual) and step into a healthier, happier workplace.
We respect your privacy. During the Challenge, your first name and team name might appear on the leaderboard. If you’d rather keep a low profile, just let us know.
The Workplace Challenge runs from 5 May - 1 June 2025.
