It's almost time to join the 9th annual Homer Steps Up challenge! For four weeks, track your daily walks with your smartphone, wearable fitness tracker, or pedometer to win prizes and incorporate more movement into your routine. NEW THIS YEAR: team sizes are no longer capped! Participants are now able to set their own daily walking goals, and our virtual map shows your progress on a walk between the end of the spit and Mirror Lake in Anchorage.

Every Wednesday, we're giving $50 in Homer Bucks to 10 walkers who averaged 7,500+ daily steps. Then, the 3 teams with the highest average daily steps over the four weeks will receive $100-500 to donate to their Homer organization of choice.
