Apple Watch National Parks activity challenge
Overview
Apple launched its annual National Parks Apple Watch activity challenge on August 23, 2026. To earn a limited-edition digital badge and a new collection of animated stickers for the Messages app, users must record at least 20 minutes of a specific activity on the launch day.
Eligible activities include hiking, walking, running, or wheelchair pushing. Notably, this year’s challenge focuses on a minimum duration of 20 minutes rather than requiring specific distances, such as one or three miles, as seen in previous iterations. While the initiative is intended to encourage engagement with national parks, participants do not need to be physically present in a park to qualify.
