What are the benefits?

By taking part in the Challenge you’ll be protecting the environment, reducing road congestion and improving your health and well-being – you could be fitter, more productive, less stressed and sleep better. Plus, you’ll be in to win great prizes as you
compete against other businesses and their teams. This is an exciting partnership between Wednesday Challenge and Hamilton City Council to join the growing number of businesses already on the Challenge.

How easy is it to take part?

It’s simple. You simply sign up as the representative from your business, enter your details and, when prompted, create your business team. Then invite your staff to sign up and join your team. Now you're ready to hit the ground running (excuse the pun!) on Wednesday 30th April. Your team then start logging their journeys, each Wednesday, on our Challenge web-app. By doing so you earn points and rewards, you can see how your team is doing on the leaderboards and you can track the carbon emissions you’re saving and the healthy kilometers your doing each week.

HERE’S WHAT YOU COULD WIN EACH MONTH ON THE CHALLENGE

▪ Monthly prizes and vouchers for individual team members
▪ Monthly morning tea shouts for businesses
▪ A $1,000 Grand Prize for one lucky participant at the end of the 2025 Challenge
