Walktober: October 1-31
Thursday, October 1, 2026
All day
Online
Alumni, Faculty, Staff
It's time to step up to the challenge & Walktober is waiting for you.
When logging begins on October 1, record 4,000 steps to reveal captivating fall photos, then keep moving to earn a red, orange, or gold leaf by recording 6000, 8000, or 10,000 steps a day. You can use your favorite tracking device or simply record exercise minutes and Walktober converts them to steps for you. Each leaf earned goes toward filling your Walktober tree and contributes to GVSU's overall goal. See how many leaves you can add to your tree; a visible reminder of your progress toward better health and vitality.
Besides tracking steps and earning leaves, Walktober includes:
- Community page with an interactive post feature for you to share photos and encouragement
- Optional team competition
- Friends page to share progress and offer support
- Badges awarded for reaching milestones and logging consistently
- 200+ nutritious recipes, including delicious fall favorites
Sign up for October 9 to participate! Logging ends October 31.
