The Challenge will run until the 27th, and participants must walk more than 6,000 steps per day and a total of 85,000 steps during the period.

Those who achieve the target number of steps will receive coupons linked to small business owners, given to the first 1,800 participants.

To receive the coupons, participants must install the ‘WalkOn’ app from the ‘PLAY Store’ or ‘App Store,’ register as a member, and join the ‘1530 Walking Jeongeup’ May Challenge.

After achieving the target number of steps during the Challenge period, participants can select one preferred business and apply for the coupon.

The coupon usage period is from the 1st to the 30th of next month and will automatically expire after the period ends.

A city official said, “The May Challenge is the small business-linked Challenge that is most preferred by citizens. We expect it to contribute to creating an atmosphere that promotes healthy walking by motivating healthy walking in daily life and encouraging more participation from small business owners and citizens.”

Meanwhile, there are currently 8,613 WalkOn members, and various monthly challenges and mileage systems are being operated.
