Registration is now open for the Madinah Steps Challenge, a community initiative that invites residents and visitors in Madinah city to walk toward a healthier daily routine. People can sign up through the Sports for All app, with participation spread across 15 designated locations in the city.
Participants are encouraged to complete 8,000 steps each day, making it an accessible goal for a wide range of ages and fitness levels. The challenge runs until 30 November 2026, giving residents plenty of time to join and build a consistent walking habit.
The initiative is organized by the Saudi Sports for All Federation together with the Madinah Region Development Authority and Madinah Municipality, reflecting a joint effort to promote active lifestyles and encourage movement as part of everyday life.
Why it matters
Walking challenges like this one offer a simple, low-cost way for families, friends, and newcomers to stay active together while exploring different parts of the city. For expats and residents settling into life in Madinah, the 15 locations make it easier to find a nearby spot to walk and take part.
Details such as the exact venue names, prizes, opening hours, eligibility conditions, and any registration fee have not been announced. Those interested can register through the Sports for All app to stay updated as the challenge gets underway.
