2026 Step Challenge | April 1-30
One step at a time, UB is on the move.
The 2026 UB Step Challenge brought the UB and Western New York communities together for another incredible month of movement. A total of 3,500 participants stepped up, logging nearly 700 million steps and covering more than 300,000 miles throughout April.
Whether participants walked solo or joined a team, every step contributed to a shared goal: building healthier habits and moving more, one step and one day at a time. Thank you to everyone who made this year’s challenge such a success. We’ll see you again in 2027!
The 2026 step challenge may be over, but the journey continues. Stay connected with us on social media. 👟
