New medals for National Walking Month

May is National Walking Month. To celebrate, we have created a set of brand new medals for our app users to collect.

Straight off, they will achieve our May 2020 medal for their first walk of the month.

After that, they can rack up the medals as they rack up the miles.

First up is the Loafer medal for getting going and moving in the right direction. We’ll then encourage them to ramp it up with the Trainer and push themselves further for the Trainer Pro medal.

After that, they can go for the Walking Boot; and if they put in some serious miles they could nab themselves our ultimate National Walking Month medal – nothing less than the Walking Boot Pro!

What’s more, we will enter them into our weekly #WalkThisWay prize draw. The first prize is 25,000 BetterPoints and there are three runner-up prizes of 5,000 BetterPoints each.

The table below shows the number of miles that trigger each medal.

Loafer		2 miles	4 miles	7 miles
Trainer		10 miles	13 miles	17 miles
Trainer Pro		20 miles	23 miles	27 miles
Walking Boot		30 miles	34 miles	38 miles
Walking Boot Pro		40 miles	45 miles	50 miles
