A walking app that helps you discover the world

Our goals

To promote healthier living through walking

World Walking invites you to find fun in fitness and reap the benefits of a healthier, active lifestyle. Walking can have as much of an impact on your mental wellbeing as it can on your body.

The start

From local to global

Starting as a small community health group in Scotland in 2010, the idea to track a group’s collective progress along a world map through the use of pedometers was a big success with those involved. So much so that the idea just kept growing...

2026 - the year of change

Version 3.0

The old version of WorldWalking.org was officially retired in March of 2026 after 11 years of service and WorldWalking.com 3.0 was launched!

This all new system was built to help support our community of users who have been with us for so many years and been a huge part of our journey.

With the improvements made in 3.0 we were able to once again offer an Android and iPhone app as well as a web version that was significantly faster and easier to use than the previous iterations.

What's to come

Future plans

With our modernised code running things in the backend, and our ability to make updates to the apps much quicker than before, the possibilities are somewhat endless with World Walking.

We have a whole raft of features we aim to develop in the future, as well as expanding what World Walking can provide for the wider community.

Aiming high

Worldwide impact

It’s an ambitious number, but someday we’d like to see World Walking being used by a million users all around the globe (Even Antartica, why not!).

The more people we can reach, the bigger impact we can make, and that’s what’s important. We want to see communities using World Walking, keeping each other motivated and engaged to stay active.

Tracking your steps

The world at your fingertips

Using your phone’s pedometer, or a wearable such as Fitbit, allows you to track your daily steps and virtually move you along one of our maps around the world.

If you don’t have a smart device, you can always manually add your steps or distances too.
