Team step challenges
Free team step challenge app, team vs team
Split any step challenge into teams and race team against team. A team’s total is the sum of its members’ steps, synced from each person’s phone or watch, and the leaderboard shows the teams as well as each person.

How it works
- 1
Create a challenge
On the web or in the OutPace app. Pick Steps, set the start and end dates, and give it a name.
- 2
Add the teams
As the creator, add two or more teams and name them. Put people on teams yourself, or have everyone split evenly at random.
- 3
Share one link
Send the challenge link to the group. Everyone joins from the same link and connects their phone or watch.
What everyone gets
Team totals
Each team’s score is the sum of its members’ steps, and the leaderboard shows where every team stands.
Teams you choose
Departments, offices, households or friend groups. Name the teams and decide who is on each.
Any phone or watch
iPhone and Android in the same challenge, synced from Apple Health, Health Connect, Garmin and more.
Group chat and hi-fives
Start a chat for the challenge and give a friend a hi-five with one tap.
Ways to set up the teams
At work, set department against department or office against office, and let remote coworkers join any team.
With family or friends, try households against households, or pick captains and have everyone else split at random.
Keep teams close in size. A team total is the sum of its members, so a much bigger team starts ahead.
Good to know
- What does it cost?
- Nothing. Creating and joining challenges is free, with no credit card.
- How is a team’s score counted?
- A team’s total is the sum of its members’ steps. Keep teams close in size so no team wins on headcount.
- Who sets up the teams?
- The challenge creator. They add two or more teams, name them, and put people on teams or have everyone split evenly at random. On a club’s challenge, any club organizer can too.
- Can we still see who walked the most?
- Yes. The leaderboard shows each person as well as each team.
- How many people can join?
- A new challenge holds 20 people. Bigger group? Tap Request more spots on your challenge page and we will take a look.
- Can friends with different phones and watches join?
- Yes. iPhone and Android work in the same challenge, and activity comes from Apple Health, Health Connect, Garmin and more. Many other watches and apps reach OutPace through Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android.
- Is there a team challenge we can join without setting one up?
- Yes. The Weekly Relay is a free team challenge that runs every Monday through Sunday. Teams of up to 5 work toward Bronze, Silver and Gold goals together.
