TORONTO, Ont. – The first month of the Healthy Fleet walking challenge of 2016 is over and participants really stepped up their game this time around.

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 201,840, 765 steps for the month of May. This marks the first time the challenge has made it past the 2 million step mark! All those steps add up to more than 100,900 miles walked (another first) and 9.2 million calories burned.

The competition takes a break in the month of June, but resumes promptly on July 1 until July 30.
