Are you ready to hit your stride and join colleagues in a journey across one of America’s most legendary trails – without leaving campus? The Neurosurgery Department Wellness Committee is excited to announce the upcoming Walking Challenge, launching in just a few weeks on January 19. The challenge is open to all faculty, residents and research and administrative staff.
To join the challenge:
- download the StepUp Pedometer Step Counter from your app store. The app tracks daily and weekly individual steps plus displays a group total.
- After you download the app, join the challenge by clicking on the link: https://join.thestepupapp.com/W9HbhT. Once you click on the link you’ll be in the group challenge.
- You can sync your wearable device or phone with the app to log your steps automatically. Remember to open the app daily to track your steps as the app does not “refresh in the background”.
If you prefer to keep your own miles outside of the app you have the option to email them weekly to Stephanie Ekoniak at sekoniak@stanford.edu so you can be included in the team effort.

There will be weekly walks led by the department staff, please see the schedule below:
