Step Out and Step Up to Better Health

The most successful fall walking challenge of all time — refreshed and beautiful for 2025 (its 23rd year).

Why Walktober Works

October is ideal for walking — the temperatures are cool and the colors are spectacular. Making the most of this great season, Walktober takes participants on a virtual tour of autumn’s most vibrant landscapes and inspires everyone to stay active and make walking a priority — in October and beyond.

The Walktober tree is especially motivating — everyone aims to fill theirs with red, orange, or gold leaves by reaching daily step count goals.

Worldwide fall attractions

Beautiful fall foliage landscapes from around the world featured in the Walktober challenge.

Individual and team

Organization-wide goal setting

Badges for hitting milestones

Daily tips, healthy recipes, community message board

Speech bubbles of participants commenting on a recipe: "I found the best recipe!" The other responds with "Looks delicious!"

Mobile as well as desktop applications

See why hundreds of companies, colleges and universities, school systems, city, county, and state agencies as well as health systems and nonprofit groups participate in Walktober every fall.

A Wellness Challenge That Builds Community

Friendship and connection, fostered through Walktober’s social tools, drive record participation and industry-leading achievement rates.

Participants on a team had a 13% higher achievement rate than those not on a team, while those with 1 or more friends had a 21% higher achievement rate.

Having active friends and exercising with them is associated with increased leisure-time physical activity; males report 2 times more activity, women report 2 1/2 times.1

Exercise with a friend is the best predictor
of exercise satisfaction, suggesting that friendships and social contact may motivate exercise behavior.2

I lost weight, I feel better and my outlook on the future is drastically better. This Walktober program inspired me and I greatly appreciate it and the City of San Jose for providing this to us.

Walktober helped to get my family moving more. My wife, brother-in-law, and mother-in-law really embraced the challenge. It was a fun motivator for all of us.
