step challenges

Pedometer-based contests

Step challenges are competitions where participants track their daily steps, typically using fitness devices or smartphone apps, and compete against others to accumulate the most over a set period.

Often organized by workplaces or fitness platforms as wellness initiatives: Our office step challenge runs through the end of the month.

The goal is usually to encourage physical activity through friendly competition.
