Big Step Challenge 2026

Big Hantspol Steps Challenge 2026

Register your team below and get ready to start on Saturday Jan 10th!
Teams from across Hampshire are invited to register for our new 7-week challenge for 2026 starting on January 10th. It's very simple, we want our teams to clock up as many steps as they can during this period and start off the new year with a bang, and hopefully keep up a new enhanced level of activity going afterwards as well. In the spirit of fun, teams can compete against other teams and at the end we will announce the champion steppers and they might even receive a prize!

Who Can Enter?
Any teams from serving or retired Hantspol staff, consisting of 3 or more individuals.

We know that teams will work differently and this may impact on how active they are, therefore in the interest of creating some more level playing fields, there are a choice of 4 different categories for teams to enter into:

Office based teams - Members typically based in one office or building and tend to remain there for their working day.
Operational based teams - Members based mainly outside of offices and spend their working day in a more mobile and active environment.
Retired Staff Teams - Members who are living the dream, but hopefully still active out and about and able to clock up some miles.
Elite Activity Teams - Team members may be of any of the above, however most or all of this team are very active generally or in sport, running or long distance walking.

How It Works
- Teams can register from the link below and list the members of the team
- Each team will need a coordinator to register and organise (It doesn't involve a great deal)
- All team members will need to download the StepUp app on their mobile device
- The team organiser will create a new group in the app and invite team members as friends
- On or after the start date of January 10th all team members daily steps will record onto the groups scorecard
- Steps will record direct to members phone or via a wearable fitness watch to the app
- At the conclusion on or after Feb 28th, the organiser will download a report from the app and send this to HPLS for recording
- The winning team from each category will be announced
- More detailed guidance will be issued after registration.
Register below before midday on Thursday January 8th 2026.
