2026 SePAST Movement Challenge!
We are excited to announce the 6-Week SEPaST Movement Challenge beginning on April 6th!
Join the UMASD team to participate and average 7,000 daily steps (as a team) to reach the challenge finish line by May 17th! You must join the Upper Merion Area School District team to be enrolled in the challenge.
As you log your steps, you’ll virtually take on the Great Appalachian National Scenic Trail or the A.T. for weathered hikers (from Georgia to Maine or Maine to Georgia) and get fit along the way! The trail stretches through 2,200 miles and the terrain ranges from gentle woodland paths to near-vertical rock scrambles and can lead hikers from areas with frequent road access to high mountain ridges where they won’t cross a highway for days.
How It Works:
- Challenge Dates: April 6, 2026 – May 17, 2026 (end-of-day Eastern Time)
