\r\n\u201cI was able to stay motivated and focus on my health,\u201d
\r\n\u201cI\u2019ve continued walking even after the event ended,\u201d and
\r\n\u201cI would definitely like to participate again next time.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

We will continue to support everyone\u2019s efforts to maintain and improve their health. Let\u2019s work together to stay healthy!<\/p>\r\n

The Walking Challenge has been held nationwide since 2018. In this program, participants from universities across Japan collectively aim to walk the equivalent distance of 2.5 round trips from the Earth to the Moon over the course of one month.<\/p>\r\n

This year saw a record-high total of 8,515 participants nationwide. Approximately half of them\u20144,204 participants\u2014achieved the health guideline of an average of 8,000 steps per day (for group participants, the average step count per group was used). The total number of steps taken nationwide reached 1.8 billion, which corresponds to roughly two round trips to the Moon when calculated using an average step length of 80 cm.<\/p>\r\n
