Run a group step challenge

Friends, run clubs, gym groups and office teams: here's how to get everyone moving on one leaderboard.
  1. 1

    Download Step Social

    Get the free iPhone app and connect Apple Health or Fitbit so your steps sync automatically.

  2. 2

    Create a group

    Choose public (anyone can join) or private (invite code only). Creating needs Pro for 1 group or Elite for unlimited groups.

  3. 3

    Share the invite code

    Send the code to friends, family, your club or colleagues. Joining is free for everyone.

  4. 4

    Compete on your leaderboard

    Every member is ranked on the group's own leaderboard for steps or run times, with a group chat to keep the banter going.

Join or create?

Joining is free. Anyone on the Free plan can join any group or event with an invite code or from public listings.

Creating needs a plan. Pro (£0.99/month or £9.99/year) lets you create 1 group and 1 event. Elite (£1.99/month or £19.99/year) lets you create unlimited groups and events. UK App Store prices as of October 2026 — see full pricing.

Public or private?

Public groups are open for anyone to find and join — great for clubs growing their community. Private groups are invite-code only — ideal for friends, family or a workplace challenge.
