  • No, it's not mandatory. Exercising together as a team is optional; some teams prefer group activities, while others complete their physical activities individually or in smaller groups.

  • Convert your exercise into kilometres using a well-recognized standard: 1300 steps equal one kilometre, and half an hour of exercise is equivalent to two kilometres.

    All forms of physical activity count as eligible miles.

  • Many Globe Walkers use devices like Fitbits, pedometers, cell phone apps, or similar gadgets to track their miles/distance. Printable calendars are available on our Participant Resources page. At the end of each month, click here to submit your kilometers.
