2026 Buckeye Wellness Challenge
2026 Buckeye Wellness Challenge
Embrace the spirit of an Olympian and start off 2026 with our annual Buckeye Wellness Challenge!

Challenge description
If you have participated in recent years, you know that Buckeyes are better together embracing wellness across Ten Dimensions of Wellness. This year, as the 2026 Winter Olympic Games approach, we want to kickstart your wellness journey by putting you in the mindset of an Olympian. We’re trying out a new format for this year’s challenge, so even if you’ve participated before, you won’t want to miss what we have in store!
The challenge is simple — start by setting goals for yourself, including a physical fitness goal, to kick off 2026. From there, lean into the tasks for the month to engage with your customized framework. Sign up and get four weeks of challenge prompts — follow our suggested pace, or work on it in whatever way works for you. Just download our 2026 Buckeye Wellness course and keep track of your efforts — if you opt for “calendar reminders,” we’ll send notes to your personal calendar to help keep you on track!"
