TORONTO, Ont. – The second leg of the Healthy Fleet walking challenge of 2016 is over and was it ever a hot and sweaty one, thanks to a warm July.

The challenge was created by Healthy Trucker (and is in partnership with the American Trucking Associations and Truck News) with the goal of getting the industry more active. The challenge measures competitors’ daily steps and uses an online leaderboard to help drive competitors to the top.

In total, all participants walked a total of 175,426,528 steps for the month of July. All of those steps add up to more than 87,700 miles walked and 8 million calories burned.

The competition takes a break in the month of August, but resumes on September 1 until September 30.
