The Manbassador® Million Minutes Challenge is a male-friendly, evidence-based workplace intervention designed to engage men in their health - while being accessible for everyone.
From 11 June to 19 July 2026, teams of five colleagues across 25 organisations tracked every minute of movement - walking, running, cycling, gym or sport all contributing to a collective goal of one million minutes.
With just 3 hours of the challenge left we hit the 1 Million Minutes together!
574 Challengers across the UK achieved:
This wasn’t just a challenge.

One HM Land Registry participant increased their daily steps to an average of 15,000, with even more activity on weekends and home-working days.
They reported feeling more agile, lighter on their feet, having greater energy and an improved metabolism - and had lost 10kg during the period.
Nexus found the weekly men’s health messages particularly useful. The prostate cancer content coincided with the organisation distributing approximately 150 prostate testing kits to male colleagues.
The challenge gave Nexus a strong engagement platform through which to reinforce potentially life-saving health activity.

He achieved a score comparable with many other participants, surprised his colleagues and, most importantly, surprised himself.
