 I don’t have a pedometer, can I take part anyway?

add remove

Definitely! You can also enter your steps manually on this page: https://pinksupport.pink-ribbon.be/login/activity. You don’t have to do this on the day. You can enter your steps on any date so it’s no biggie if you forget to enter your steps at the end of the day.

Which pedometers can I connect?

Fitbit or Garmin smartwatches can be directly connected to the platform.

What sport watches or activity trackers can I connect to Google Fit? 

add remove

You can connect different sports watches and activity trackers to Google Fit. Most watches will automatically connect to the Google Fit app, so all your data will be taken over and also the platform of The Pink Walk can display it.

 You start this connection within your watch and associated app. Since this is a little different for each app or watch, we give below some links that can help you on your way. Is your app or watch not listed? Then just search for "[WATCH] pairing with Google Fit".

Why doesn’t my name appear on the scoreboard?
