Step Up, DHC! The Step Challenge is Back with Some Exciting Updates!

Ready to get moving? Lace up your sneakers, rally your team and get those steps in because the DHC Step Challenge is back!

From September 21 to October 12, every step counts. Whether you’re walking the dog, taking the stairs, heading out for a walking meeting, or going the extra mile after work, it all adds up. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to connect with colleagues, enjoy some friendly competition (see: smack talk) and support a great cause.

And we’re switching things up this time! Teams will be made up of three people instead of five, so grab two colleagues and get ready to step up together. 

Register your team by Thursday, September 17 to get in on the action! 

We are also introducing a new individual way to win, so everyone has a chance to come away with bragging rights! 

And yes, our execs are stepping up too. Think your trio can outstep them? Challenge accepted!

The DHC Step Challenge runs from September 21 at 12:01 a.m. local time to October 12 at 11:59 p.m. local time.
