Joining a Challenge

Challenges are time-based events where individuals or teams work toward a shared step goal. Only steps recorded during the challenge dates count toward your results. This guide covers how to join an individual challenge from the mobile app or your browser, and how joining a team challenge differs.

Before you join, it helps to understand what you're looking at. At the top of any challenge page you'll see the challenge name and its date range, along with one of three states: a button to join, a confirmation that you've already joined, or a note explaining that joining isn't currently available. Below that, a virtual map tracks your progress along the challenge route and shows how you compare to other participants.
