Join in the excitement of Game Day at Notre Dame by taking part in a new tradition. Employees who work home game Saturdays are encouraged to take part in the second annual Game Day 10K Steps Challenge. The project challenges participants to reach 10,000 steps (five miles) while working, which is the recommended daily step target for healthy adults to achieve health benefits. The challenge is also a way to recognize the hard work and dedication of the many campus groups that make Game Days go so smoothly at Notre Dame.
