Virtual Physical Activity Challenge

Journey with us around the world without ever having to leave your hometown.

The virtual physical activity challenge utilizes the Be Well platform, an app-based physical activity platform that records your steps and more than 90 forms of physical activity such as swimming, biking, dancing, walking and more! When you sync or manually add your activities and steps to your account, your entries move you and your team closer to the finish line! 


Current Challenge

Join us on the National Parks of the USA Summer Challenge! We will weave our way down through the some of the most beautiful natural wonders in America, starting in Glacier National Park in Montana, and ending in the Everglades in Florida. Explore a whole new sense of wonder and appreciation for nature.

Challenge dates: July 6 – August 7, 2026

Participate as an individual or on a team of 4-10 participants. 

Goal: 8,000 steps per day!


Important Update

Walker Tracker has transitioned to the Terryberry Be Well platform.

Helpful Tips and Resources

Forming a Team: We recommend teams of 4-10 participants. Teams with at least 4 participants will be eligible for prizes as team totals are calculated as an average, not a sum. Once you register or log in, you will be able to choose the challenges you wish to participate in. View Mobile instructions or Browser instructions on forming a team. 

Connecting an activity tracking device: The Be Well platform connects to several compatible devices and apps including Apple Watch, Fitbit, and Garmin. If you do not have a device or app, no problem! You can add walking steps manually or convert your physical activities to steps.

Adding activity data: If you have an activity tracking device, please be mindful of not re-adding activities that are likely tracked with your device. For example, if you play soccer or tennis while wearing your device, please do not also manually add this as an activity. This is double dipping and not fair to the competition. Please only enter in activities that aren't tracked by your device.

Please review the Be Well user guide to get started. We have also created a list of Frequently Asked Questions for your review.

The Be Well Physical Activity Challenge is open to UC Davis staff, faculty and student employees. Please note – if you participated in our last challenge, but did not complete the evaluation, you will need to re-register.
