What is Go Gold?
It’s a 6-week physical activity challenge with a Summer Games theme, celebrating the 2024 Olympics in Paris. You don’t have to be an athlete to capture the Summer Games spirit. Everyone can be inspired by the unifying power of sport.
How does it work?
Track steps with your favorite device and experience progress by exploring 7 distinct eras of Olympic competition. But you’re not limited to walking; activities like swimming, cycling, rowing, and many others automatically convert to steps so everyone can be part of Go Gold.

Registration opens Monday, July 1; you may begin recording on Monday, July 15.
The challenge wraps up on Sunday, August 25, but you may update activity until the team scores freeze on Tuesday, August 27.

The challenge goal is 90 points for the 6-week program. Aim for 15 or more points each week.
★ 6000-7999 steps = 3 points (bronze)
