2026 edHealth Walking Challenge

Boston College offers its Harvard Pilgrim medical plans in conjunction with edHEALTH, a consortium of about 30 schools that joined together in an effort to help contain health costs.

The edHEALTH schools, working with Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, are sponsoring the 9th Annual edHEALTH Walking Challenge with prizes to be raffled for individual achievement and best performance by school. This year it will again be a 5-week event. Each school will be a ‘team’ composed of its employees who enroll in the Challenge. There is no limit to the number of employees who can participate on the Boston College Team, and you don’t have to be a member of our Harvard Pilgrim plan to be eligible. 

What’s New: This year is that each school will have its own Team Captain, who will have the ability to adjust situations where people register with good intentions but then don’t actively participate and don’t record steps. Jan Lent from Human Resources has graciously agreed to be the Captain for the Boston College Team.

This summer’s Walking Challenge will run from Monday, June 1 through Sunday, July 5.
