Group Target Mode

Understand how to set one shared steps, distance, or minutes goal for your whole group using clear participation and activity estimates.

Updated yesterday

Everyone works together toward one big shared goal

Group Target Mode is one of the most collaborative and motivating challenge formats in Stridekick.

Instead of racing individually or competing in teams, everyone contributes to one shared, cumulative activity goal, like 5 million steps or 100,000 active minutes.

Itโ€™s simple, flexible, and great for getting everyone involved โ€” regardless of fitness level.


๐ŸŽฏ What Group Target Measures

Group Target tracks the total group activity across your entire challenge.

Admins choose one metric to measure:

  • Steps

  • Active minutes

  • Distance

Every participantโ€™s activity contributes toward the shared goal.


๐Ÿ“ What Goal Youโ€™ll Set

A total group goal, such as:

  • 5,000,000 steps

  • 100,000 active minutes

  • 2,000 group miles

There is no individual target โ€” everyone contributes in their own way.

To choose a realistic group goal:

  • Estimate average daily activity per person

  • Multiply by the number of participants

  • Multiply by challenge length

Most admins use 2โ€“5 miles/day or 6,000โ€“10,000 steps/day as a baseline for planning.


๐Ÿ“ How to Choose the Right Group Goal

Formula

Group Goal = Est. Participants ร— Daily Average ร— Challenge Days

Example

100 participants ร— 6,000 steps/day ร— 30 days =
โ€‹18,000,000 steps


๐Ÿ“Š Recommended Targets (100 participants)

Challenge Length

Steps (Group Total)

Miles (Group Total)

Active Minutes (Group Total)

7 days

2,800,000 โ€“ 4,200,000

1,400 โ€“ 2,100

7,000 โ€“ 14,000

14 days

5,600,000 โ€“ 8,400,000

2,800 โ€“ 4,200

14,000 โ€“ 28,000

30 days

12,000,000 โ€“ 18,000,000

6,000 โ€“ 9,000

30,000 โ€“ 60,000


๐Ÿง  How Scoring Works

Group Target focuses on contribution, not ranking:

  • All activity synced contributes to the group total

  • Participants see their personal impact as part of the whole

  • Visual group progress updates drive engagement

  • Thereโ€™s no leaderboard โ€” the group wins together

This mode is especially encouraging for beginners or people who feel intimidated by competition.


๐Ÿ’ก Best For

  • Fundraisers

  • Community-wide wellness events

  • Companies and organizations

  • Schools or youth programs

  • Noncompetitive groups

  • Events focused on participation, inclusion, and team spirit

People love seeing the collective progress climb โ€” especially when milestones or incentives are layered in.


๐Ÿงฉ Pro Tip: Stack It Withโ€ฆ

  • Streak โ†’ Keeps daily engagement high

  • Freestyle โ†’ Pair group progress with wellness practices

  • Leaderboard โ†’ Gives competitive participants a secondary motivation without altering the group goal

This hybrid approach helps you support all motivation types in your audience.
