We recommend using a wearable pedometer or another step counter app to keep track of your daily step total. If you don’t have a pedometer then you can still participate fully, manually entering your steps on our website.

Your options for tracking your steps are:

Option 1: Manually

Use any app, pedometer or wearable and manually enter the distance

At the end of each day, just login to Big Team Challenge and type in your tracked activity in steps, miles, kilometres on the Dashboard page.

You can also manually enter these distances on our iOS and Android app.

Option 2: Apple HealthKit (iOS only)

Download the Big Team Challenge iOS app and sync with Apple Health

Option 3: Health Connect (Android only)

Download the Big Team Challenge Android app and sync with Health Connect (Google Fit, Samsung Health, MyFitnessPal, etc.)

Option 4: Fitbit

Connect your Fitbit account to Big Team Challenge to sync your steps in real-time

If you have a Fitbit device, you can connect your Big Team Challenge account to your Fitbit account.

Option 5: Garmin Connect

Connect your Garmin Connect account to Big Team Challenge to sync your steps in real-time

If you have a Garmin device, you can connect your Big Team Challenge account to your Garmin account.

No longer available: Option 6: GPS (Outdoor only)

We have removed the option to track your activity via GPS. This was a legacy feature from before syncing was commonly used and resulted in some privacy concerns. We recommend using one of our syncing options (above) to sync your steps.
