Global Step Quest FAQ

This FAQ provides details on logging your steps, key deadlines, challenges, leaderboards, prizes, and support. Remember, every step matters, so give it your all!

Dates:

The program is active from October 1 to October 31, 2025. Since it begins on a Wednesday, the first week will be shorter.

How to Log Steps:

Record your weekly total in the Journey Log at BetterMeLMC.com. There’s no need to send in your spreadsheet or paper tracker; only the weekly Journey Log submission will count towards your official progress and eligibility for prizes. All links are accessible on mobile devices and offsite.

Deadlines:

Steps must be submitted every Wednesday for the previous week. Your first Journey Log will be due on the 8th.

Side Quests:

A new challenge will be launched every Friday in The Traveler’s Lounge. Each challenge includes straightforward instructions and a submission process for that week. Side Quests are optional and offer a fun way to stay motivated while earning raffle entries.

Leaderboards and Updates:

Leaderboards will be refreshed on Fridays, along with the raffle results. A reminder email will be sent every Tuesday to encourage you to log your steps.

Step Quest Tracker:

Utilize the Step Quest Tracker spreadsheet to document your daily steps. There’s no need to upload the tracker; only the Journey Log submission is necessary.

What Counts:

Only steps matter! Walking, running, and treadmill steps are valid if recorded by your device. Conversions from other activities will not be accepted.

Joining and Participation:

You can join until October 8. After this date, registration will close to ensure accurate totals and prize eligibility. Spouses and friends are welcome to join; please ensure they sign up by October 8.

Missed Weeks:

If you miss two consecutive weeks without notifying us via email, you will be removed from the program. Accurate weekly totals are essential to track our global objective.

Can I submit for a past week?

Resubmissions are permitted during the same submission window. Once the Wednesday deadline has passed, that week will be deemed closed.

Prizes:

Weekly raffles will occur for those who complete the weekly challenge. A final prize wave will be held if we return to our starting point around the world by October 31st. Everyone who submits their steps will have a chance to win paid time off (PTO) and various gift cards.
