Walktober

 

 


 

What is Walktober?
Walktober is a fun and friendly competition designed to help you achieve your walking or overall exercise goals. You can join as an individual or form a team with your colleagues.

Track your daily steps, walking minutes, or step-equivalent activities using your fitness device, and log your progress in the Walktober app each day. A guide to convert various exercises into step equivalents will be available when the program launches.

 

A Friendly Reminder:
We want Walktober to be an enjoyable and fair challenge for everyone. Please record your steps honestly. Remember, step-counters belong on your wrist, not on your pet, baby, or the ceiling fan.

If you find yourself logging 2–3 million steps in a month, you might just have superhero powers from another planet, and that’s an unfair advantage.

 

Key Dates:

  • Registration Opens: September 24
  • Registration Ends: October 5
  • Activity Tracking Begins: October 1
  • Challenge Ends: October 31

 

How to Register:

  • Register at: https://hsd.walktober.com
  • Please use only one email address to register.
  • You can enter the code HXAEVL if prompted.

Healthy Walking!
