Around-the-UK May Walking Challenge has now finished!

4. How to add your activity

 Watch our tutorial here

You can manually add your walking, running or wheelchair distance, or if you have a smartphone or watch it will sync your activity automatically – you just need to set it up first.

1. Syncing your activity – Syncing your steps is the simplest way to automatically add your daily activity to the challenge. See how you can sync your steps from Fitbit, Garmin Connect, Apple Health on iOS and Google Fit on Android.
2. You can easily enable syncing from your chosen device – on the desktop go to your dashboard, my account, settings, connected apps.
3. Syncing on the iPhone and android app, open the menu, sync devices, then connect to the service of your choice.
4. Adding your distance manually – You can manually add your activity via the challenge website and our challenge app by using the “Add Activity” option on your dashboard. You can also use the Minutes Conversion Chart link within the box to convert your time exercised into steps, then you simply choose the date, enter the number of steps and press add.

Please note the activity conversion chart isn’t enabled for this challenge as it is purely a step-based challenge to celebrate National Walking Month this May.
