Registration delayed for step challenge
Because of an upgrade to the website, registration for Step Up with MU Health Care has been delayed. The upgraded website will have a different look and feel than earlier competitions and will allow for better integration for community participants.
Participants should be able to register on the website beginning Friday, Aug. 21, and registration will remain open until 11:59 p.m. Monday, Sept. 14. The start of the contest has not been delayed, so steppers should start recording their steps on Tuesday, Sept. 8.
