## Walk the Distance Description
Walking step challenges on real famous trails. Walk the Distance turns your everyday steps into an adventure on 20+ iconic hiking trails — from the Appalachian Trail to the Pacific Crest Trail, Camino de Santiago, and beyond. No treadmill or special device needed — just walk, and watch your progress come to life on a real trail map.

WALK ICONIC TRAILS
- Appalachian Trail (2,190 miles)
- Pacific Crest Trail (2,650 miles)
- Continental Divide Trail (3,100 miles)
- John Muir Trail
- Camino de Santiago
- Marathons, city walks, and national park routes

STEP CHALLENGES THAT KEEP YOU MOVING
Works automatically with Apple Health — no extra hardware required. Also syncs with Fitbit and Garmin so every step counts, whether you're walking the dog, commuting, or hitting the trails. Your steps sync all day, every day, and fuel your progress on the trail.

STAY MOTIVATED WITH CHECKPOINTS
Unlock real waypoints as you progress — trail shelters, scenic overlooks, and landmarks. Each checkpoint keeps you moving toward the next milestone.

WALK WITH FRIENDS & COMPETE
Add friends and walk the same trail together. See who's ahead on the leaderboard, get notified when someone passes you, and join group step challenges to stay accountable.

BUILT FOR YOUR HEALTH GOALS
Whether you want to lose weight, build a daily walking habit, burn more calories, or just get moving — step challenges on famous trails make fitness fun and meaningful.

CORPORATE WELLNESS
Companies use Walk the Distance for employee step challenges with team leaderboards and admin dashboards. Tap "Send to HR" to get your workplace started.

SET IT AND FORGET IT
The app runs quietly in the background, pulling your distance from Apple Health once per hour. When you reach a checkpoint or a friend passes you, you'll get a notification.

BETTER THAN A PEDOMETER
A pedometer counts steps — Walk the Distance gives them meaning. Step challenges on real trails turn your daily walking into an adventure, keeping you motivated every step of the way.

Free trails in every category, with additional routes available for $0.99 each or with a premium membership.

## Walk the Distance Reviews in United States

### ***** "The best walking app I have found"
I absolutely love this app! I love the information, beautiful pictures and fun facts about waypoints and they help keep me motivated to walk so I can see the next one. It is the only way I’ll ever be able to walk the AT so it’s a fun adventure. I will absolutely be subscribing as soon as I finish all the free walks. I would also love to see the North Country Trail added in the future if possible, but if not I will still subscribe because this app is 100% worth it!
-- UnhappyMinion1323, 2024-04-27

### *---- "I got booted out"
I was hiking the Appalachian Trail and then it reset. I payed for it but it didn’t let me finish. Was it only good for a certain amount of time? I tried to contact the owner but got no response.
-- Jumble Fella, 2024-04-15

### ***-- "Walk the distance app"
Nice concept but the app continues to record my miles incorrectly. Even after I go in and “report missing miles”, it doesn’t always work.
-- daydreamingincarolina, 2024-03-27

### ***** "Love tracking my miles this way"
I’ve really enjoyed my virtual walk on the Appalachian Trail. It’s fun to track my miles and put updates on my Facebook page. If I have friends that live near the trail, I tell them that I will be in their neighborhood, which usually makes them smile. Great appWith great behind-the-scenes support. Look forward to continuing on and finishing my AT journey
-- Jaxnd, 2023-08-30

### ****- "Adds fun to walks and hikes."
I’ve been an avid hiker for many years never was a step-counter, but when I read an article about Walk The Distance it sounded fun and I decided to give it a try. I just completed the Appalachian Trail and am starting the John Muir Trail today. It’s fun to work toward completing a goal every time you go for a hike, and it adds some motivation to get out there and do it. And every day it tells you how much progress you’ve made. My only reason for giving 4 stars instead of five is that I wanted to go back and find when I started my AT effort and the “history” feature wouldn’t go all the way to the beginning. I highly recommend!
-- John WTD, 2023-03-20

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
Looked like an interesting app . Went to try out multiple different maps and nothing happens. Already deleted it
-- Anthony8781, 2022-12-17

### ***** "Rest motivation"
So simple and fun too. Thank you!
-- MarivicVT, 2022-11-20

### ***** "Motivating! Fun! Easy to use!"
So happy I found this app!  A great way to virtually experience some adventuresome hikes. The app is easy to use, sync to your exercise/health app, navigate through and has responsive customer service. 
Looking forward to watching my progress through the interactive maps!!
-- PNW KLE, 2022-10-29

### ***** "Great app. Totally worth installing"
Fantastic app. I’m really glad I found it while searching for virtual hikes/runs. All of my distance auto uploads from my Apple Heath, which gets its data from my Garmin Connect app. Every day or so, I see a a new notification saying I’ve reached “Xxx shelter” or whatever and I click into the app to see my progress. 

The prices on the longer hikes are totally worth it and I didn’t have any issues with paying for them. I reached out to the developer with a couple quick questions and he was super responsive. 

If looking for an app to help with a little motivation with a monthly or yearly mileage goal, this is your app.
-- upset in maine, 2022-09-10

### ***** "Very cool!"
I love this app! It is cool that you can do these awesome trails any time anywhere. I think there should be more trails, there doesn't feel like a very big variety even if you bought all trails, but that's just my opinion. If the devs see this, please add more trails, free and paid.
