You are welcome to register as a team of one, but for most walkers the challenge goal becomes more achievable, and more fun, as you add coworkers. For example, if you are a team of one, you will need to average 35,000 steps a day to reach the final destination. On a team of four, you would only need 8,750 steps per day. And, if your team has the maximum of 5 participants, your daily average needed becomes 7,000 steps. See chart below:

However, individuals who achieve a final total of 196,000 steps (an average of at least 7,000 steps per day) will be rewarded the $50 toward 2025 Wellness Rewards regardless of whether or not their team reached the final destination. 

Please note: If you already earned the $50 for completing the Spring Destination Challenge, Appalachian Trail, you will NOT earn an additional $50 for completing this challenge. However, you are welcome and encouraged to participate.

Yes, as team captains create teams, they have the option of making their team public, which makes the team visible to all and anyone can join!

If a team is trying to fill itself with specific members, it should be kept private until the team is filled. Once a team is public, anyone may join, and it may not be the colleagues the team captain intended.

If you leave the challenge, you have until September 7, 11:59 pm local time to rejoin. If you don’t rejoin by this date you won’t be able to participate in this challenge. Members can join the challenge at any time, but they cannot join, leave, and then try to rejoin after September 7.

No! You may join the challenge at any time. However, the challenge end date is October 5, regardless of when you begin participating.

The challenge keeps going! The portal continues to present you and your teammates with online trophies and kudos, to help you stay motivated. The leaderboard tracks over the challenge goal, so all teams are encouraged to keep going. At the end, the team who officially had the highest number of steps gets highlighted on the leaderboard.

Credit for reaching the final destination or averaging at least 7,000 steps per day as an individual will load on your portal page by October 24.
