Welcome to Healthtrails

What is HealthTrails?

HealthTrails is an online wellness program that draws on the excitement of seeing and learning about new places and people by tracing famous trails around the world.

How does it work?

Each time you record a HealthTrails activity you move along the trail. As you progress, you’ll see great images and vivid descriptions of that location as if you’re right there. It’s a fun, effective way to track health habits because you actually see your progress each time you record an activity.

What is the program goal?

Your goal is to travel 300+ virtual miles along 1 or more trails — you have [4 (6-week program), 5 (8-week program), 5 (12-week program)] to choose from. If you record at least 30 minutes of exercise a day/5 days a week, 5 produce servings a day/5 days a week, and 7-9 hours of sleep/5 nights a week, you'll reach 300 miles. And you can add to your mileage by taking the daily Tip Test. Aim for at least 50 miles a week to achieve the goal in 6 weeks.

Who can participate?

Everyone. HealthTrails gives you several ways to earn mileage and move along each trail. Consistency is rewarded over great athleticism or dramatic changes. Simple, everyday healthy habits produce the greatest benefits — and the most success in HealthTrails.

Is there team participation?

Yes! In this optional friendly competition, teams of 4-5 challenge each other to earn virtual miles (the group that averages the most tops the leaderboard). After registering, read How It Works on the Team page to learn more.

When does the program start?

Registration opens Monday, January 6; you may begin recording Wednesday, March 16. All teams must be formed by Sunday, July 31. The team competition will end Sunday, August 14, but you may update activity until the team scores freeze on Wednesday, March 4.
