Registration for the challenge will be open from 1 March 2022 until 24 March 2022.

How it works:

We are using the MyPacer app (www.mypacer.com) to track our collective and individual progress.

Once we have received your registration payment, we will send you instructions on how to download the app after 3 days. This allows our team time to set up your details in the app.

If you are entering a team, please add the names and email addresses of your team members in the registration form. If you do not know all the names and emails of your team members at the time of registration, you can send them to steps@cancersupport.ch before the Challenge starts on 24 March.
