Apple Watch National Parks Challenge set for August 23
Apple Watch users can earn a special award by completing a 20-minute workout on August 23, 2026, for the National Parks Challenge.
According to Apple, earning the award requires recording a workout of any type for 20 minutes or more on that day. The challenge supports walking, running, hiking, wheelchair pushes, and any other workout type.
Completing the challenge unlocks a virtual trophy and animated stickers for Messages, FaceTime, and more. The stickers include an animated trophy, a flying bird, a hiker, and someone setting up a tent.
Apple typically sends an alert to Apple Watch users closer to the event, so participants can expect a notification later this week.
