Tokyo Tower Climb and Step Up Challenge Community Cups

What is the Tokyo Tower Climb Community Cup?

The Community Cup is a team event allowing community supporters to challenge each other in both fundraising and the fastest time.

The Tokyo Tower Climb is a chance to up your game physically and creatively: we want to “walk the walk” to honor the lives lost to suicide in Japan. Helping people feel comfortable talking about mental health is crucial in the fight against suicide and the stigma that prevents people from accessing services and support.

Tokyo Tower Climb Fastest Time Community Cup: The team with the fastest average time will receive this prize.

Tokyo Tower Climb Fundraising Community Cup: The team that has raised the most money by midnight on October 10, 2022, will receive this prize.

The team with the fastest average time will receive the prize. Although the times will be calculated on the day, the final results will be tallied and announced on Monday, October 3rd.

Step Up Challenge Community Cup

What is the Step Up Community Cup?

The Community Cup is a team event allowing community supporters to challenge each other in three categories: total steps, fundraising, and building awareness about mental health in the community.

The Step Up Challenge is a chance to up your game physically and creatively: we want to “walk the walk” to honor the lives lost to suicide in Japan. Helping people feel comfortable talking about mental health is crucial in the fight against suicide and the stigma that prevents people from accessing services and support.

Step Up Step Champion Community Cup: The team with the most steps in a 24-hour period will receive this prize.

Step Up Fundraising Community Cup: The team that has raised the most money by midnight on October 10, 2022, will receive this prize.

Step Up Awareness Community Cup: The team that has raised the most awareness will receive this prize. Be creative here!

How to Compete

Register your team on this website by clicking here. A team consists of four people and your team distance will be calculated as the total number of steps for the four-team members in one 24-hour period.
You have from September 10th until October 10th to complete your walk.
You must reach a minimum of 21,007 steps to be eligible for the Corporate Cup. The more steps your team logs, the better your chances of taking home the prize. If you have a team member who will be participating in a different way, e.g. using a wheelchair, let us know upon registration how you’ll be interpreting and tracking the challenge.
You can use any step tracking app, smartwatch, or fitness band that displays the step total and date. You'll send us screenshots or photos of each team member's steps with the date. Example: Pedometer - step counter is one free option on Google Play that lists the steps and the date.
There is also a prize for the most awareness created. We want you to bring your creative powers and passion for spreading awareness through any means that speak to you.

Here are some suggestions for creating awareness:

A community mural
Setting a target of people to call, check in on, and share TELL provided information on how to take care of your mental health right now
Using social media for campaigns such as “Mental Health Monday”
