Virtual Physical Activity Challenge

Journey with us around the world without ever having to leave your hometown.

The virtual physical activity challenge utilizes the Be Well** platform, an app-based physical activity platform that records your steps and up to 91 forms of physical activity from walking to aerobics, tai chi, ping pong, and so much more! When you sync or manually enter your activities and steps to your account, your entries move you and your team move closer to the finish line!

Important Update

Recently, Walker Tracker has transitioned to the Terryberry Be Well platform.

  • For desktop access: The website still remains hosted at ucdavis.walkertracker.com.
  • For app access:
    • New users should search "Terryberry Be Well" in your app store
    • Returning users may still have the Walker Tracker app installed. You may have seen it automatically update to the Terryberry Be Well platform. If not, please apply app updates as needed. You will likely need to sign in again using your previous credentials.
  • For support: The website still remains hosted at ucdavis.walkertracker.com. You may find that Help Articles still reference the Walker Tracker platform. Support may be requested via email at support@walkertracker.com.

Thank you for your patience as our team also adjusts to the new Terryberry Be Well platform.

Helpful Tips and Resources

Forming a Team: Instructions on how to form a team can be found through this link. We recommend teams of 4-10 participants. Teams with at least 4 participants will be eligible for prizes as team totals are calculated as an average, not a sum. Once you register or log in, you will be able to choose the challenges you wish to participate in.

Connecting an activity tracking device: The Be Well platform connects to several compatible devices and apps (PDF) including Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin and more. If you do not have a device or app, no problem! You can add walking steps manually or convert your physical activities to steps.

Adding activity data: If you have an activity tracking device, please be mindful of not re-adding activities that are likely tracked with your device. For example, if you play soccer or tennis while wearing your device, please do not also manually add this as an activity. This is double dipping and not fair to the competition. Please only enter in activities that aren't tracked by your device.

Please review the Walker Tracker user guide (PDF) to get started. We have also created a list of Frequently Asked Questions for your review.

The Be Well Physical Activity Challenge is open to UC Davis staff, faculty and student employees. Please note – if you participated in our last challenge, but did not complete the evaluation, you will need to re-register.
