a little wandering, a lot of noticing

What Is the Summer Walks Challenge?

It isn't a course or a step count. It's a season-long way of gathering the small, fleeting things that make summer summer — the moments that usually pass us by. New discoveries unlock throughout the challenge, giving you fresh moments of summer to notice and collect as the weeks unfold.

The Soundtrack of Summer

Cicadas at dusk, a sprinkler ticking, kids on bikes, a far-off ice-cream truck.

no. 01

When the Light Turns Gold

That ten-minute window when everything goes warm and honey-colored.

no. 02

Signs of Life

A tomato vine, a sunflower turning to follow the sun, wildflowers in a sidewalk crack.

no. 03

Where Summer Happens

A porch, a park bench, a farmers' market — the spot everyone seems to drift to.

no. 04

Small Celebrations

Bunting on a fence, a backyard party, sidewalk chalk, a hand-lettered sign.

no. 05

A Memory in the Making

The open one — whatever moment you'll want back when you think of this summer.

✦ + 19 more to collect ✦

These are just a peek — there are 25 discoveries in all, each a small moment of summer to look for on a walk. A fresh one appears as the three weeks unfold, and every one you find is pressed into your field journal to keep.

a happy little difference

Why This Feels Different

Plenty of challenges are built around keeping up. This one is built around looking around — taking part in the season instead of tracking it.

Most challenges are about…

  • Keeping up
  • Streaks to protect
  • Performance
  • Hitting the goal

This one is about…

  • Noticing the small things
  • Collecting memories, not stats
  • Taking part in a season
  • Sharing what you find
  • Enjoying summer while it's here

Same walk. A completely different feeling.

a gentle reminder

Summer Has a Way of Slipping By

Between the heat and the travel and the long to-do lists, summer tends to blur past. There are family visits and busy weekends and a hundred small obligations — and then suddenly it's September and you can't quite remember where it all went.

This isn't one more thing to keep up with. It's a soft nudge to look up — to notice the season while it's here, and gather a few moments worth keeping before they're gone.

No guilt. No streaks. Just noticing.

We're Creating a SharedMemory of Summer 2026

Over 500 walkers. Thousands of small, beautiful discoveries. One shared memory of a summer none of us will get back.

All season, members add the moments they catch — a photo, a few words, the little thing they noticed on an ordinary Tuesday evening. Your firefly jar lands beside someone's porch light. Their berry-stained hands beside your golden field. Quietly, together, we fill one scrapbook of the season.

And when the warm days fade, we'll have it: a time capsule of Summer 2026 to open again whenever we need to remember what it felt like to be here.

This is our season. Let's not miss it.

Who This Is (and Isn't) For

This is for you if you…

  • Want a reason to get outside
  • Don't want another summer to disappear
  • Enjoy noticing small things
  • Love collecting memories
  • Want a gentle, no-pressure challenge
  • Like sharing discoveries with kind people

This probably isn't for you if you want…

  • Fitness competitions
  • Step counts and pace tracking
  • Daily streaks to maintain
  • Intense goals and leaderboards
  • A productivity system to optimize

This challenge is about noticing — not optimizing.

What Walkers Are Saying

This community gives me the gentle nudge to do the thing I really want to do but often put off — to slow down and enjoy the world around me while I move my body. So motivating.

TTiffany M.100 Walks Club member

So many days I feel like it's just about counting steps, but I wanted a more meaningful way to enjoy my walks. So happy to have found this community — I find joy in all my walks now.

MMonica T.100 Walks Club member

I never took the time to explore my surroundings. When I took my first walk, I realized just how much I was missing. The community here is so nice — I feel at home.

BBernadette B.100 Walks Club member
a few honest answers

You Might Be Wondering…

Do I need to be fit, or walk a certain distance?

Not at all. There's no distance, no pace, no minimum. A slow shaded stroll around the block counts every bit as much as a long hike — this is about noticing, not performance.

What if I miss a few days?

Totally fine — there are no streaks to break and nothing to fall behind on. Pick it back up whenever you like; the discoveries are waiting for you all season.

Is this an app I have to download?

Nope. Your field journal lives on the website, so you can use it from your phone or your computer — wherever you happen to be this summer.

What do I actually get for $9 a month?

Full 100 Walks Club membership: the Summer Walks Challenge and your field journal, plus the community, the badges, the Summer 2026 time capsule, and everything else the club does all year. Cancel anytime.

Do I have to share my discoveries with everyone?

Never. Share as much or as little as you like. Plenty of members simply, quietly collect their own summer — the sharing is there if you want it, not a requirement.

When does it start, and can I still join?

The Summer 2026 round runs July 6–26. Join any time before July 6 to begin Day 1 with everyone — and you're welcome to jump in once it's underway, too.
