Move for you and for the planet

Bupa’s Healthy Cities challenge is a global four-week challenge that is fun and easy. Its simple goal is the more movement, the more trees that will be planted to make our cities greener and healthier.

We’ve had more than 35,000 people involved over the past three years, with their impact having a positive effect on the health of our cities. Are you ready to join our 2026 challenge?

Why participate in Healthy Cities?

From 1 to 30 September Monash is joining up with Bupa, who have partnered with Landcare Australia to provide funding to local groups for nature regeneration and restoration projects, all while supporting your own wellbeing through physical activity.

By Monash University joining this challenge, Landcare Australia will plant 500 trees on our behalf, and 1 tree for every participant that joins (capped at 800 participants).
