Steps Out Walking/Pedometer Tracking Program

Who's on Top?

Are they still ON TOP? This is Penticton's 4th race across Canada to celebrate Move for Health Day. This year we are competing against our previous record. Check it out here.

The format is different this year because Move for Health Day is on Sunday - Mother's Day. This year events to celebrate Move For Health Day will count from May 4th to May 12th at noon. Steps from Steps Out will be added automatically. If you do an event specifically for "Move For Health Day" in the week leading up to or after May 10th, please enter the information. After May 12th please call the telephone line to report your activities.

In 2008 - 3836 participants in Penticton logged 26,855,723 steps, an increase over 2007 when 2371 participants stepped 16,020,087 times. In 2006 - 1143 participants stepped 10,389,301 steps. In 2008 they beat Armstrong and in 2007 they beat the Burnaby Goliath.

The May 10th Move for Health Day Activity Schedule which outlines the free activities is available at the Penticton Community Centre and online at Get Active Penticton. Free activities are being offered such as swimming, drop-in gym times and various fitness classes throughout the community. Anyone getting active can phone in

See our city’s progress across Canada throughout the days and let’s beat last years record of more than 27 million steps. For more information contact the community centre at 250-490-2426.

The true success of any idea is people will start to copy you. EDIS Computers are the original developers of the Steps Out Interactive Mapping Program. While not every program is known as "Steps Out" they all use the same mapping system. Other programs go under the names "Kick It Up Kitimat", "Highway to Health", "Walking Works", "On The Move", "Step Into Action" and "Get Active."

People all over the world are Stepping Out to New York, Hawaii, Mexico, Brazil, China, Russia, and Europe with this Unique, Creative Web Solution that allows the participant to see in a visual way the progress they are making towards a common destination.

The independent nature of the program and the use of creative web service make the Steps Out Program easy to coordinate, thus giving the organizers time to create value added healthy living opportunities. In Penticton, Group walks like “Saturday mornings with the Mayor”, and the “Easy Rock Walk” kick-off the fall and spring seasons. Many of these have kept going as people got to know each other. Other organizers have used "Pins" from Cities along the way, and corporate prizes as ways of motivating their steppers. On Vancouver Island a community has put a large copy of the map in their centre and participants can put a flag indicating their position.

The common thread between all these fantastic walking programs is that their technology is delivered by EDIS computers. They have the knowledge, experience and creativity to motivate your participants.
