    The daily goal climbs from 4,000 steps to 8,000 steps. Reach it on at least 4 of 5 days.

  2. 2
    Join before it starts

    Join before the challenge starts. Once it's live the doors close, so get in early.

  3. 3
    Your steps count automatically

    Connect a data source and your steps update on their own. No manual entry, no screenshots.

  4. 4
    Win your share

    Everyone who hits the goal splits the pool equally. The $50 pool is guaranteed, and if entries exceed it, it grows even bigger. It's not a race, finish and you win.
