The Gryphon Challenge is an annual virtual run event that began in 2020 to promote a healthy lifestyle amongst students. This year, for the first time in history, The Gryphon Challenge was made available to ALUMNI!

This year, The Gryphon Challenge ran from 24th July to 20th August, and accumulating steps is all challengers needed to do to participate! Participants were challenged to clock a full 200,000 steps across the 4 weeks. Challengers unlocked special RI-themed digital badges during the course of the month. Beyond the steps challenge, participants learned more about the school’s history through the various trivia questions and tasks available. Alumni challengers who successfully hit the step goal and completed all tasks received a limited-edition lanyard.
