How It Works

Woman Running The Official® 10,000 Steps Program is a step-counting based team challenge where participants track their daily step totals in an attempt to conquer their company’s virtual challenge map. The challenge typically runs for four, six or eight weeks and the first team to reach the finish line of the virtual map, wins.

Follow the progress of your team on the challenge map, keep track of your closest rivals, see the locations you’ve visited and see what places are still to come. The more you step, the faster your team will make it to the finish line. View the live leaderboards for your team and your company as a whole. There are also leaderboards along the way to highlight the most improved steppers each week.
