WELCOME TO THE WALK YEAR Founding Walkers | 2026 You made it. This group is the beginning of something big — a global community built around joyful movement, personal transformation, and the simple power of walking or running one year with intention. You aren’t just early adopters. You are Founding Walkers. You’re helping shape what Walk Year becomes for people around the world. We’re honored to walk this with you. WHAT WALK YEAR IS ABOUT Walk Year is a simple idea: Move your body. Strengthen your spirit. Build community. One year. One step at a time. It’s for everyday people. Busy people. Faith-filled people. People starting over. People rediscovering joy. People who simply want to walk or run toward a healthier life — physically, mentally, and spiritually. And you’re here to help shape this movement. WHAT YOU’LL HELP BUILD IN 2026 This group will help Walk Year shape: - The Walk Year tiers and mileage badges - The passport + token ecosystem - Community challenges - Story-sharing features - Hashtags + social identity - Movement tracking formats - Walk Year language, culture, and rhythm Your feedback, ideas, and participation will directly influence the direction of Walk Year into a global brand and experience. You are the reason this will be special. TWO WAYS TO WALK YOUR YEAR You will help decide how to structure your Walk Year. For now, you can choose the approach that resonates most with you: 1️⃣ The Daily Commitment Path Walk or run 1 mile (or any daily mileage/step goal) a day, every day, for 365 days. This path is about consistency, discipline, presence, and small daily wins. 2️⃣ The Yearly Mileage Path Walk or run a total mileage goal across the year. (E.g., 250, 500, 1,000, or 2,500 miles.) Heck, you can pick both…walk every day AND go after a mile goal!
