WALKtober Challenge

Get ready to step into October with purpose, get to know other local mamas, and move your body more! Join our annual WALKTOBER Step Challenge, benefiting the Keep A Breast Foundation 💕

This is a friendly, encouraging individual and team challenge that is open to all moms - not just FIT4MOM members!

📅 Register by: October 4th

📲 Step tracking starts: October 5th and you will be assigned to a team and contacted by your team leader.

This year, Walktober is doubling as a charity fundraiser!

$10 to participate: $5 goes directly to Breast Cancer awareness, prevention and early detection, and $5 goes into the winner's pot (split between winning team participants... plus other chances to win prizes for participating)

Whether you’re walking for fitness, connection, fun, or the fight against breast cancer, every step counts.

Let’s make an impact together – one step at a time, while connecting and having a lot of fun with our village!

Here’s how it works:

1. Register here. Instructions are on that page for payment and liability waiver as well

2. 👟 $10 Buy-In 🏆 Winner takes half the pot (the other half is donated to Keep a Breast Foundation)

🚨 Important Payment Note: If you haven't sent your $10 buy-in yet, please follow the payment instructions provided [above/below]. Please do NOT use the direct donation link on this page for your entry fee! I need to split the entry fee between the prize pot and the donation first, and I will be submitting everyone's donation together as one lump sum.

PREFERRED: Zelle FIT4MOM for payment: roamandrise.llc@gmail.com with memo: (Walktober 2026 buy-in). Venmo @Kassandra-schilling with the same memo if you do not have Zelle.

2. Download the free Step Up app. It's easy to sign up and syncs with most fitness trackers. You will receive a link from your team leader (will be assigned to you before the challenge starts) and you will set up your free account. This will track you & your team's progress. (Each week runs Monday-Sunday).

3. Set your personal goal and start stepping! Push to hit—or even beat—your daily and weekly targets, because every single step moves your team closer to victory. Remember to give yourself grace along the way! We’re mamas—kids get sick, schedules shift, and life happens. A goal is simply something to reach for, so do what you can, celebrate the movement, and keep going! 👟💗

You will receive motivational check-ins weekly from your team leader and also a check-in every Monday morning with your final steps for that week.

4. Chance to win prizes for the winning team, overall top stepper, and a grand prize drawing - see below!

Prizes

Winning team participants: $10 registration money back (and possibly more depending on final participant count and number of teams) , a free coffee voucher from a local coffee shop... and of course, bragging rights.

Overall top stepper: Wins a FIT4MOM shirt & F4M pair of socks

EXTRA DONATIONS AND CHANCE TO WIN A THULE STROLLER

Chance to win a Thule Stroller

FIT4MOM villages across the nation are competing to raise the most for the Keep A Breast Foundation—and the top-raising village wins a FREE Thule Stroller! 🚨

If our village takes home 1st place, I will be drawing one lucky participant from our Walktober challenge to WIN that Thule Stroller! 🛒✨

The more of us who join and the more donations we get, the closer we get to bringing that stroller home to our village. Let’s step up, raise money for a great cause, and win big!
