TAKE STEPS TO VISIT LOCATIONS ACROSS THE WORLD

Walk your way to fitness and POWER UP points in the Destination Step Challenge — Great Escapes, February 28 – March 20.

How It Works

Team Up

Join a team — or form your own — up to eight people. Want to go solo? A team of one is fine! You have until March 4 to build a team or join an existing one. Enrolled spouses/domestic partners are welcome to join, too.

Walk

Walk as many steps as you can and virtually visit 25 must-see locations from all corners of the world. Learn fun facts along the way as you visit places like Central Park, Lake Louise, Chichen Itza, Machu Picchu, Big Ben, Petra, the Taj Mahal, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Victoria Falls, Angkor Wat and Uluru.

Sync your fitness tracker and get walking! You can also convert your workouts (such as swimming and cycling) to steps on the Stats page of powerup.hess.com, up to 10,000 steps each day of the challenge.

Earn POWER UP Points

  • 100 POWER UP points for tracking your steps at least once a week during the challenge
  • +100 POWER UP points for reaching the Sydney Opera House — the final destination
