Make your steps count extra this month! To celebrate and honor International Women's Day on March 8 (and all month long), Strava has partnered with the Hot Girl Walk™ creator, Mia Lind, to raise funds to benefit global initiatives.
Hot Girl Walk United – is a global challenge to commit more time to movement. The Hot Girl Walk is a 4-mile, outdoor walk that builds confidence through movement, serving as a dedicated time for self-reflection. For every completed challenge, Strava will donate $4 (up to $250,000) to GRLS and the ONSIDE Fund.
Why is this important?
Studies show that the vast majority of active women aged 25-39 say working out is as important for their mental health as well as their physical health; however, due to external factors, women spend less time being active than men.
Strava wants to help change that with the Strive for More commitment. Over the next 3 years we are investing $1 million to help more women be active.
