Commit to Get Far campus challenge: 29 January-27 February

From Monday 29 January - Tuesday 27 February, we're running a campus-wide challenge using Sussex Moves.

For our Around the World in 30 Days challenge, we want students and staff across campus to form teams using the platform and work together so that as a campus we achieve 50 million steps in 30 days: that's the equivalent of 960 marathons or 25,000 miles - the distance to go around the globe.

Your activity will be converted to Move points - we're aiming to reach 165,000 points as a campus, which will take us on a tour of the world. To find out more, sign up to Sussex Moves and click on the 'Challenges' tab.

Log your activity

You can use one of many supported popular wearable devices or smartphone apps (e.g. Fitbit, Strava, RunKeeper, MapMyFitness etc.), which sync automatically with Sussex Moves. The more intensive the activity, the more points you get.

If you don't currently use an activity tracker, we recommend downloading Nokia's Health Mate or Moves mobile apps, then connect either of the free apps to Sussex Moves from your Connections page. Keep your phone on you and the app will do the rest, automatically logging your daily steps and syncing with Sussex Moves. Both apps are free and available for iPhone and Android.

Supported activities that are logged by most trackers are: running, swimming and walking, which all count towards your points total. You won't be able to manually log your activity, so remember to record what you do using one of the options above so that it converts to points!

Track your progress

For easy access on the go, bookmark the Sussex Moves site on your phone. Open the site in your phone's internet browser and go to your browser settings to bookmark it as an icon on your home screen. This will allow you to track your progress, particpate in challenges, make friends and upload photos directly from your phone.
