Walktober Challenge - a walk a day this October

The autumn colours are out, the warm sun is lower in the sky and crisper days are upon us. It can only mean one thing - the start of Walktober!

What is Walktober? 

This October we’re challenging you to a walk a day challenge, with badges coming your way when you walk for just 10 minutes per day. Kerching! A recent survey of Go Jauntly users* showed that a whopping of 93% respondents love discovering new places. Why not use the Walktober challenge to help you discover new routes to make the most of the shorter days ahead? 

Walktober is a fun, free way to enjoy the associated mental and physical benefits of being outside which we hope will support those who start to feel the impacts of seasonal affective disorder. 78% of participants of the Walktober 2021 challenge agreed that the challenge encouraged them to walk more in October, come rain or shine. 

‘I love the app and it has really made it easier for me to go out and walk, which I find is very important for my physical health and mental clarity.’

The free Walktober challenge starts on Saturday 1st October and we’d love to hear how you’re getting on. Let us know in the comments or chat with us on Twitter using the hashtag #Walktober.
