1day3000 Social Walk: A Celebration of Fitness and Community Engagement
The '1day3000 Social Walk!' is more than just a walking event; it's a fusion of physical activity and charity. This year, the esteemed event, hosted by ONE COMPATH of the TOPPAN Group, is set to take place from January 15 to January 28, 2026. Teams will have the opportunity to sign up from October 30, 2025, until December 19, 2025.
A Brief Overview of 1day3000
Launched in April 2020, the '1day3000' initiative was created to counteract the physical and social isolation felt by telecommuters. The event encourages participants to achieve 3,000 steps every day over the 14-day period, fostering a spirit of competition among companies. The previous edition saw an impressive turnout of 484 companies and 12,193 participants, accumulating a staggering 12 billion steps, which is equivalent to circling the Earth 268 times.
The 2023 iteration shifted its goal to align with sustainable practices, emphasizing better societal contributions under the slogan: '# Walking for Society.' Participants are motivated not only to maintain fitness habits but also to contribute to charities focused on social betterment.
What to Expect in the 13th Edition
The upcoming '1day3000 Social Walk!' features both a corporate and individual component. Companies must form teams of at least three employees to compete, while anyone registered to the aruku& service can take part individually. A significant highlight this year is the participation of 10 sponsoring companies, which will offer various prizes for both categories.
Charity Component
A prominent aspect of this edition is its charity component. The event has committed to donating one yen to the Japan Guide Dog Association for every 3,000 steps achieved by all participants. This means if 450,000 days of the target are met, 450,000 yen will be contributed, potentially reaching a maximum of 500,000 yen.
