August 30 Apple Watch Activity Challenge to Celebrate National Parks

Apple has scheduled its next Apple Watch Activity Challenge for August 30, intended to “celebrate the natural wonder of national parks.” Apple Watch users can earn the achievement by completing a hike, walk, wheelchair workout, or run of at least 1 mile.

The workout can be completed by using the Workouts app on Apple Watch or any other app that records workout data to the Apple Health app.

This challenge celebrates the natural wonder of national parks. Earn your award on August 30 by recording a hike, walk, roll, or run of a mile (1.6K) or more with any app that adds workouts to Health.

This marks the third year in a row that Apple has held an Apple Watch Activity Challenge in August to celebrate national parks. Last year, the challenge celebrated the Grand Canyon National Park’s 100th anniversary.

The challenge is just the latest offered by Apple to encourage users to stay active through fun challenges. Apple often focuses its challenges on a holiday or a day of awareness.
