Ready to travel across America and celebrate the fall season?

Your challenge will take you to festivals and Oktoberfests around the U.S. that celebrate autumn and all it has to offer! This challenge runs from September 22 – October 5, 2018.  

REGISTRATION IS OPEN

While this is an individual challenge, all steps earned will be automatically added to your team and the overall Billion Steps Challenge. There are three versions of this Fall Festival challenge to choose from, based on your current activity level. You can only register for ONE of the challenge versions, so review the options below and choose wisely!  All registrations will be reviewed prior to launch to ensure the selected version aligns with your activity level.

Fall Festivals “HOP” – Maybe you aren’t active on a regular basis or have fallen off our Billion Step Challenge wagon and you are looking for some motivation to get back in the game, then the Fall Festivals “HOP” is the perfect challenge level for you.  The Fall Festivals “HOP” has been set for participants who want to work on the goal of reaching 5,000 steps per day, through walking and/or other activities.

Fall Festivals “DASH” – If you have been logging regularly and you are near or over 10,000 steps per day but looking for little push to stay consistent, then the Fall Festivals “DASH” is right for you. While 10,000 is set as a minimum daily average, don’t let that limit you if you have higher aspirations!!

Fall Festivals “ULTRA” – There are some that have surpassed the 15,000 steps per day mark, and are much closer to the 20,000 steps per day mark.  If that is you, then the “ULTRA” version will be the best choice for you.

Let’s have some fun with this!  Find some friends and family that have not signed up for the Billion Steps Challenge yet, get them to register and then join us in this special mini challenge.

Our sponsor, SHOCKSOCKS, has some prizes for the winner of the HOP, DASH, and ULTRA.  So, get ready to kick it up on Saturday, September 22nd!

Happy Trails!
