Star Trak Fitness Challenge

August 4 – August 31

DC, capture the spirit of space exploration and adventure in the Star Trak fitness challenge. Just as our quest to reach the stars has inspired generations, Star Trak equips you with inspiring tools to boost activity, track progress, and build strength in both body and mind.

In this 4-week program, logging exercise is simple with Star Trak. If you’re using a tracking device or app, just sync it with your computer and your steps automatically load into your Star Trak account. You also have the option to record your favorite activity, along with dedicated exercise minutes, and the program automatically converts your minutes to steps. Plus, you'll have access to resources and tools such as delicious recipes, inspiring articles, motivating daily emails, team chat, and engagement wall to help you connect and keep moving.

About

What is Star Trak?

It’s a physical activity challenge with a space exploration theme, tracing the exciting evolution of mankind’s quest for the stars.
You don’t have to be a space nerd to capture Star Trak spirit. Everyone can be inspired by the galactic grandeur of space exploration.
 

How does it work?

Track steps with your favorite device and experience progress by exploring 7 distinct eras of space exploration. 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 Star Trak.
 

What is the goal?

60 points for the 4-week program. Aim for 15 or more points each week.

 • 6000-7999 steps = 3 points (red star)
• 8000-9999 steps = 4 points (yellow star)
• 10,000+ steps = 5 points (blue star).

NOTE: You don’t have to wear a tracking device to record steps. Enter exercise minutes, then Star Trak converts your minutes to steps (100+ activities to choose from).
 

How does team participation work?

Team participation is optional. Scores are based on the team’s average points, plus Thrive Thursday challenges (1 bonus point/team member each week). Each person’s individual contribution affects the team score. You have until Sunday, August 10 to form a team of 4-6 members and add to the fun of Star Trak.
 

Who can participate?

All DC Government employees, including household members ages 18+.
Whether you’re just beginning or an avid exerciser, Star Trak gives you motivating tools to increase physical activity and track your progress.
 

Mobile App

Employees may participate online by computer or cell phone. The Star Trak Challenge app automatically syncs with your online account. You can download the app from Google Play Store or App Store.

Make sure to log in using your DC Government work email.
