Hello, fellow Stridekickers! 👋 For our very first community update, we’re highlighting some of our favorite recent and upcoming community challenges for this November. We hope this guide helps you discover a new community challenge or two to join this month and that you enjoy our recap of some of our recent challenges from last month as well. We’ll also be shouting-out some of our most engaged challenge participants to thank them for helping us grow the Stridekick community.
To start us off, here’s a guide to our community challenges starting this November. To join any of the challenges listed below, please create or log into your existing Stridekick account and then follow the steps in this help article.
Individual Goal: Reach 155,000 steps in 30 days
Our most popular challenge to date is back for November! In this month-long challenge, each participant will be working towards the Target goal of 155,000 steps throughout the month of November. You’ll need to get approximately 5,000 steps/day to meet this goal. Grab your favorite sweater and head on out to earn those steps. If you enjoyed our latest 🍁 WALK-tober challenge, be sure to check this challenge out.
Team Goal: Step to bring your favorite Thanksgiving side to the top of the leaderboard
While the turkey often steals the show for a classic Thanksgiving meal, this team challenge is all about the sides! Choose your favorite Thanksgiving side dish to represent by joining the team featuring your favorite side and start hustling. 💪 This challenge is perfect if you’re looking for a fun, team-based community challenge.
Individual Goal: Complete a daily gratitude prompt
Practicing gratitude has many benefits, and this November leading up to Thanksgiving Day, we’re challenging you to 14 days of gratitude so you can start to reap the benefits in your own life. Each day at 7am CST, we’ll share a new daily gratitude prompt for you to complete. To participate, complete each daily prompt and then mark the prompt as completed in the challenge. If you’re looking for a challenge to help you form a new healthy habit, this might be the one for you!
Group Goal: Reach 42,000 miles (~67,592 kms) together in 14 days
We are doing our own virtual version of a Turkey Trot this year! The goal for this challenge is to reach 42,000 miles (~67,592 kms) in 2 weeks as a group. Gobble gobble - let’s reach that finish line together! For a virtual opportunity to log some miles this November, be sure to check this challenge out.
Group Goal: Reach 20 million steps together in 4 days
No better way to celebrate our gratitude for good health than by stepping towards our collective goal of 20,000,000 steps in 4 days! It may be tempting to relax on the sofa after a wonderful meal with your family, but just think about how much better you’ll feel after walking - your digestion will thank you. This challenge could be your perfect opportunity to help inspire your family to get moving together over the holiday weekend.
Let’s take a moment to recognize all of our hard work from our October 2020 challenges.
Individual Goal: Reach 155,000 steps in 30 days
Individual Goal: Complete the 14 sets of exercises in the 14 days of the challenge, and compete to be at the top of the leaderboard for steps and minutes
Team Goal: Stay as far as possible from the bottom of the leaderboard to prevent your team from becoming a ghost, ghoul, or goblin team
Individual Goal: Reach 8,000 steps each day individually. Collectively, if 50% or more participants reach the daily goal, we earn a pumpkin in our pumpkin patch
Group Goal: Reach 15,000,000 steps together over the Halloween weekend
