Description:

Welcome to the Walk30 Challenge!

You have joined a friendly competition between the City of Burnaby and the City of New Westminster to see which municipality’s residents can walk the most minutes!

The Walk30 Challenge aims to inspire people to walk more to improve mental health and overall wellness, make connections with their local community, and to rethink how we get around. Participants from each municipality log their walking minutes from April 11 - May 15, 2022 on the Challenge Runner platform. As a participant, you may use a watch or a fitness device to keep track of your daily walking minutes before logging them in this platform, and watch your municipality tally add up over the course of the challenge!

Recording your minutes

In order to receive data from tracking devices, each participant must first install the appropriate software and create an account on the activity tracker's (Challenge Runner) website. Every participant must then authorize ChallengeRunner.com to capture individual data as follows:

  • Remember, Walk30 only sync MINUTES. Make sure your device (Garmin, Apple Watch…) it is set as “Walking”. It won’t keep track of other activities, or without activity recording. Only walking! 

The Walk30 Challenge will run for five weeks. You can check prizes and awards on our website.

Using Challenge Runner

  • On the leaderboard, participants are able to see where they stand in relation to other participants without seeing their names. 
  • Devices should be synced every day; however, participants may take up to seven days after the log date to sync data.

Although activity trackers are supported, they are not required. Participants may enter their own data using the ChallengeRunner website or ChallengeRunner smartphone apps.
