Next Apple Watch activity challenge supports national parks
Apple Watch users can mark their calendars for the next activity challenge. The 2026 National Parks Challenge is set for this Sunday, August 23.
Apple will introduce its annual National Parks Apple Watch activity challenge on Sunday, August 23. The event is aimed at celebrating national parks throughout the United States. Apple Watch users are invited to complete a workout lasting for at least 20 minutes on August 23, 2026, which can be a hike, walk, run, or wheelchair push.
Earning this activity award is easy and straightforward; users simply need to log one of these workouts for 20 minutes or more on the specified date. Similar to all previous Apple Watch activity challenges, participants will receive animated stickers for their Messages app and a new Apple Watch challenge. As usual, Apple is set to provide additional national parks-themed content in August, such as Apple Pay donation opportunities, Apple TV programming, Apple Music tracks, books, podcasts, and more.
