Get Moving to Feel Fantastic!

An active lifestyle is key to feeling and being your best. Walktober is a 6-week well-being campaign to help you get outside and get moving towards better health.

Log activities from October 2 to November 12, 2023.

 

    Track Your Activity

    Log your steps and/or activity minutes to fill up your Walktober tree with red, orange, and gold leaves and reveal vivid autumn landscapes from around the world. You can get credit for activities that don’t track steps by using the Step Converter on the platform.

    Connect with Coworkers

    Connect with County employees working close by, at a different worksite, or while teleworking. Engage with coworkers through the friend feature, the interactive message board, or the friendly team competition.

    Participate on a Team

    Join a team of 3-7 members to encourage one another towards achieving the goal. If you’re on an official team, you can also complete the weekly Thrive Thursday challenge and log before 10:00 PM to earn a bonus point towards your team’s score.

    Win a Prize

    Log 6000+ steps/day, 5 days/week, to achieve the midway goal of 15 leaves and the end goal of 30 leaves and be entered for two chances to win prizes.
