  • Submit additional information including your position, school or division, and primary campus.
    •  Please note, this is a team challenge.  Once registered, you will be added to a team with others members in your department within CUFO.  The winning team (department) takes home bragging rights!
  • Create your account by submitting your first and last name, email address and creating a password.

Once you are signed up to MoveSpring and have connected the app to a wearable device, smartphone, or selected manual entry, here's how to track your steps to make sure your steps and all other activities count: 

  • Remember to sync your data from your device to the app to update your total steps each day. Learn more about syncing here as it varies by the type of device you have. See a list of connectable devices here.
  • Count other physical activity (e.g.: yoga, biking, or dancing) towards your step goal by converting the number of active minutes to steps and manually adding them on the MoveSpring app.  

Challenge goal:  As each team competes for the highest average step count, CUFO is challenging each time to reach 3,000,000 steps by the end of the challenge!
