Turn everyday walks into a challenge you created. Upload a map, draw your route, design a medal worth earning and invite friends to race you to the finish. From imaginary kingdoms to real-world destinations, DIY Walking Challenges puts you in charge of the journey.

USE YOUR OWN MAP

Have a fantasy world you want to explore? A hand-drawn island? A map of somewhere you love? Upload your own map image from your photos or files and turn it into a walking challenge. Choose the setting, set the distance and make it yours.

DRAW YOUR OWN ROUTE

Tap on the map to plot your path. Wind through forests, cross mountains or take the scenic way around. Add milestones with names, stories, icons and artwork, then watch your walking progress carry you along the route.

CREATE CUSTOM MEDALS

Give every finish line its own reward. Upload artwork for your digital completion medal or use optional AI artwork generation to create one from your idea. Build a collection of medals for the adventures you complete.

RACE AGAINST YOUR FRIENDS

Share your challenges and see who reaches the finish first. Follow friends' progress with route markers and standings, use online race updates, or exchange progress manually with QR codes and files. Make your next walking goal a friendly competition.

EXPLORE REAL-WORLD ROUTES WITH GOOGLE MAPS

Prefer real places? Build a geographic route on Google Maps and turn destinations into your next challenge. Choose a journey close to home or somewhere you've always wanted to explore.

MAKE EVERY WALK COUNT

Track progress with steps and distance from Health Connect on compatible devices, use supported phone step recording, or add distance manually. Set goals in miles or kilometers and move at your own pace.

Create, walk, share and race without an app subscription. The free app includes ads; an optional one-time purchase removes them. Medals are digital rewards. Optional AI artwork generation requires internet access and is subject to availability and daily limits. Online races require internet access. Use maps and artwork you have permission to use and share.
