Bloom
Bloom is a vibrant, global wellness challenge that celebrates the season by inspiring movement and connection — from cherry blossoms in Japan to lavender fields in France and Texas bluebonnets in full bloom. Whether you prefer walking, swimming, cycling, dancing, or yoga, all activities count thanks to automatic step conversion, making it an inclusive and enjoyable experience for everyone. This challenge is currently closed.
UC Davis Moves Bingo
Explore the UC Davis Campus, UC Davis Health, or your own neighborhood with our UC Davis Moves Bingo Cards! Each card highlights different landmarks such as the Eggheads on campus or the Cancer Survivors Park at UC Davis Health. Aim to get four in a row, or go for blackout bingo!
