Lace up your sneakers, Columbia faculty and staff and join the NYC Marathon Step Challenge this fall! As one Columbia team we will aim for a marathon-sized goal of 26,200 miles by the challenge end, while unlocking marathon milestones around the city. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or somewhere in between, we’re all “marathoners” in this journey together.
Think of it as your personal NYC Marathon—without the street closures or the blisters. Along the way, we’ll fuel your journey in the app with fitness tips to keep you on track, and virtual coaching sessions to keep us motivated.
The challenge will take place on the MoveSpring app, where you can easily track your steps, follow the leaderboard, chat with your team, and stay motivated.
Invite your colleagues and register today! Let’s get moving!
The challenge runs from Monday, October 6 - Sunday, October 26, 2025
**REGISTER by Thursday, October 2nd**

Instructions on how to join the challenge on the MoveSpring app will be shared before the start of the challenge. For all challenge details, including activity tracking and prizes, visit the challenge page.
