2026 Spring Walking Challenge: Hidden Art Around the World (BCBS HealthyTogether) 

Since the start of time, people have created all kinds of art to tell their stories. In this walking challenge, you’ll uncover some of these lesser-known feats (and a few familiar faces). Pack your sketchbook, camera, and curiosity as we traverse the world in search of diverse art that’s made its mark on history.

Faculty and staff participants will be entered into a raffle for prizes and gift vouchers. Note: According to the rules of the Internal Revenue Service, gift cards and certificates are considered cash equivalents and, therefore, considered taxable income. Challenge participants who are awarded the gift certificates via electronic vouchers will have the value amount added to their taxable wages in a future payroll. 

April 27: Registration starts through June 8

May 11-June 8: Challenge runs

June 10: Deadline to upload steps

Registration Link will be available on April 27th
