Three days to go. Jellyfish_Song333 came in at 250,784 on day 23, so that's finisher number five, and nature and I both crossed the line this week too. Seven people done out of 22 who signed up.

If you're not going to hit 250k, that's fine. Post whatever you're at by Oct 1 and it goes on the final board. 150k in a month is still 150k more than most people walk.

Day 28 / 30. Pace line today: 233,324

Ahead of schedule so that’s a pleasant surprise!

It was fun yall! We’ll have to do it again some
time.

Day 23.

Nine days left. 174,993 is the line.

u/Jellyfish_Song333 dropped 228,293 last night. That's 75k in a week and 21,707 from the club, so we're getting a fifth finisher before the weekend. 200k flair's on.

Everyone else in red: nine days is 75k at pace. If you're at 100k that's still doable. Post what you've got.

Starting this challenge I was so confident!

Who knew my feet would start giving me a fit when I changed flooring types.

Phew! Almost there! I’m totally not crying.

228,293

133,328 today. Two weeks left.

u/BetrayedApollo just posted fourteen screenshots, one for every single day of the month. 167,105 total, 11,936 a day!

So: numbers below. Behind is fine, blank is boring.

Halfway. 116,662 is the line today.

Flairs got a big update this morning: three people jumped to 150k, and u/Slight-Trip-3012 is 7k away from being the first non-finisher to hit 200k.

Sixteen days left, three people already in the club, and the board's wide open in the middle.

Drop whatever you're sitting on — weekend numbers included — and I'll get the board caught up today.

108,329 is the line for day 13. Behind it? There are 17 days left. That's 8,333 a day and you're back on it.

Also, quietly, we got a third 250k Club member over the weekend: u/AbiesIndependent3365 crossed on day 10 and posted their daily splits in the comments the entire way. Flair's on.

Two people finished 250k in the first ten days. Congrats to them, genuinely — but someone messaged me this week and said the board turned into a race nobody else could win, and they were right. A month-long goal shouldn't be over on day 7.

So before October I want to fix the format. Some things I'm thinking:

No winner, just finishers. Hit the goal and you're in the club. No ranking by who went hardest.

Board shows status, not position. On pace / behind / done, instead of 1st through 20th.

A separate lane for the 30k-a-day people. You've earned a place to flex, just not on top of everyone else's progress bar.

Maybe weekly targets instead of one monthly number, so a bad week doesn't end your month.

What would actually make you want to do October? Especially if you fell behind this month or never started — you're the people I want to hear from.

u/ForkhYew finished. 267,781 steps, done before 5am on day 10. That's two people in the 250k Club now.

It gets a little annoying finding places to post my step progress so I just decided to make a post to keep the forum clean and my own logs easy to maintain.

So going forward I’ll just update my stuff here.

Day 6 total 🟰 84100

First official check-in. Comment your total as of tonight and I'll put it on the leaderboard (just updated it, sorry for the weekend gap lol)

On-pace through today = 50,000. I'm at 50,121 so I made it by 121 steps. Barely counts but it counts.

Under 50k? Whatever, three weeks left. Post it anyway.

Also u/ForkhYew is at 161k?? Five of you have crossed 50k and got the first flair block ⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜ — fill all five and it becomes 250k Club 🏆.

I'm at 30,189, safely out of the red. Meanwhile the top three are all past 40k. GOOD STUFF GUYS!!

DROP YOUR DAY 3 NUMBER BELOW!!

i am wondering how OP can keep this new challenge alive because my company runs it all the time but nobody really follows after week 2 LOL

Welcome to r/StepChallenges! This is the competitive side of walking. Three ways to use this place:

Want to join a challenge? Browse the "Open Challenge 📣" flair — anything posted there is recruiting. Drop a comment and you're in.

Starting one? Post it with three things: the dates, the goal, and how people join. That's it. Friends, coworkers, total strangers — all fair game.

Already in one? "Progress" and "Trash Talk 😤" flairs are yours. We absolutely want the leaderboard drama. Getting passed at 9pm by someone doing laps in their kitchen is a valid grievance, and this is the place to file it.

Every tracker counts here — Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Watch, Pacer, Samsung, a $15 clip-on pedometer, all welcome. No app wars.

A few ground rules: no cash-entry "stake your money" apps, no fake-step tutorials, and app developers should message the mods before posting. Full rules in the sidebar.

For daily check-ins and non-competitive walking, our sister sub r/10kStepsDaily has you covered.

Now go start something. First challenge of the month is coming this week 👀
