Registration is open for all full-time state employees. To participate, log in to ActiveHealth (or create an account), and select “Challenges” from the navigation. Then join or create a team using the steps below:
- Join an existing team. Use the search bar to look up a team name or person on the team. After finding a team, click the “Join” button.
- Create your own team by clicking “Create a Team.” Invite others to join your team by sending the link to your team to coworkers.

Daily goal
10,000 steps and 15 active minutes. The team with the highest percent completion to the goal wins bragging rights! Every 25% completed toward your daily goal moves your team forward in the challenge. Reaching 125% of your daily goal gives your team a bonus to help claim the top spot in the leaderboard. The Team Leaderboard will refresh every morning, showing which teams are in the lead.

Tracker Issues
Some users may be experiencing tracker issues resulting in inaccurate steps and active minute data. The fix for this issue will be completed on April 1, and all steps and activity minutes will be visible in your ActiveHealth portal on that date.
To make sure all your activity is counted for the Team Challenge, you can manually enter steps and active minutes if you see a discrepancy between your tracker and the ActiveHealth portal. Manual entries are only used for the Team Challenges and will not count toward the Physical Activity Tracking reward. Log in to the ActiveHealth portal daily to make sure your steps and active minutes are being recorded accurately.
For assistance:
- Call 855-202-4219 and ask for technical support for the March Statewide Challenge or app/device data for any issues so that ActiveHealth can best support you.
- Message the ActiveHealth coach you currently work with for support on data or syncing issues through your MyActiveHealth.com/stateofindiana account.
Introducing the 2nd Challenge Bonus of 2024!
The second Challenge Bonus is for highest participation in the March Team Challenge, and is open to employees and spouses who are enrolled in the state employee health plan. If your agency has the highest percentage of participation in the March Team Challenge, you will earn a bonus $25 in wellness rewards on top of the $10 for participating in the March Team Challenge ($35 total).
Participation rates will be calculated by agency. Agencies will be broken into four groups, and one agency will be crowned winner for each group! Any individual that is in a winning agency AND has participated in the March Team Challenge by joining and logging steps or active minutes, will receive a bonus $25 in wellness rewards.
The four groups for the Challenge Bonus are:
- Mastodons: Agencies with 3,000+ employees

Note: You will earn $10 in wellness rewards for participating in the March Team Challenge even if your agency does not win the challenge bonus. The Challenge Bonus is available to employees and spouses eligible for the ActiveHealth program. Spouse participation will not factor into the agency completion percentages, however, spouses must participate in the March Team Challenge, to be eligible to receive the bonus $25 in wellness rewards.
