Walk the Distance6.6.9 - App Store

Walking step challenges on real famous trails.

STEP CHALLENGES THAT KEEP YOU MOVING
Works automatically with Apple Health - no extra hardware required. Also syncs with Fitbit and Garmin so every step counts, whether you're walking the dog, commuting, or hitting the trails. Your steps sync all day, every day, and fuel your progress on the trail.

STAY MOTIVATED WITH CHECKPOINTS
Unlock real waypoints as you progress - trail shelters, scenic overlooks, and landmarks. Each checkpoint keeps you moving toward the next milestone.

WALK WITH FRIENDS & COMPETE
Add friends and walk the same trail together. See who's ahead on the leaderboard, get notified when someone passes you, and join group step challenges to stay accountable.

BUILT FOR YOUR HEALTH GOALS
Whether you want to lose weight, build a daily walking habit, burn more calories, or just get moving - step challenges on famous trails make fitness fun and meaningful.

CORPORATE WELLNESS
Companies use Walk the Distance for employee step challenges with team leaderboards and admin dashboards. Tap "Send to HR" to get your workplace started.

SET IT AND FORGET IT
The app runs quietly in the background, pulling your distance from Apple Health once per hour. When you reach a checkpoint or a friend passes you, you'll get a notification.

BETTER THAN A PEDOMETER
A pedometer counts steps - Walk the Distance gives them meaning. Step challenges on real trails turn your daily walking into an adventure, keeping you motivated every step of the way.

Free trails in every category, with additional routes available for $0.99 each or with a premium membership.
