Calendar Step Club is an annual challenge in May where the goal is to complete the multiple of 1,000 steps that corresponds to the day of the month. (Ex: 5/1 = 1,000 steps, 5/15 = 15,000 steps, 5/31 = 31,000 steps). A successful challenger will complete at least 496,000 steps over the course of the entire month.
This year’s challenge is being held on MoveSpring, which is an easy-to-use fitness tracker app that connects to most activity tracking devices including Apple, Fitbit, Android, Google, and more. In addition to the Daily Step Goal challenge, there will also be friendly competition challenges including Individual & Team Leaderboards.
Participants are encouraged to attempt the challenge as an individual though it is possible to tackle it as a team by partnering up with someone else and splitting he steps between the two of you so that the combined total meets each daily goal.
