Fall Wellness Challenge: Walktober

September 1, 2021

Registration Period: September 20 – October 8
Challenge Dates: October 4 – October 31

Walktober is a fun and inspiring way to take advantage of autumn’s cool temperatures and spectacular views as you step out and step up to better health. Log your steps or exercise minutes through the mobile app or manually to tour vibrant landscapes and earn colorful leaves. Goal is to get at least 6,000 steps or 30 minutes of exercise daily and earn 20 leaves in the 4-week challenge. There will be the option of earning an extra point on Thrive Thursdays for those participating on a team.  UTD will have prizes for the top 3 participants.  Let’s get moving and help UTD win the Traveling Trophy 😊
