The Apple Watch Thanksgiving Activity Challenge Returns for 2017

Apple is once again offering an Apple Watch Activity Challenge on Thanksgiving Day. The company offered a similar challenge last Thanksgiving. The challenge/achievement will only be available to United States Apple Watch owners.

9to5Mac:

This year, Apple Watch owners need to record a 5K workout on Thursday, 23rd November to earn the 2017 Thanksgiving Activity badge and iMessage sticker. Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.

Apple Watch owners need to complete a walking, running or wheelchair workout of at least 5 kilometres in distance on Thursday. That’s just over 3 miles.

The 5K workouts can be recorded via the Apple Workout app, or any third-party app that stores its activity data as workout data in the Health app’s database.

Users who complete the challenge will receive a new achievement medal in their iPhone’s Activity app, and will also receive a new iMessage sticker, as shown below.

United States Apple Watch owners should begin being notified about the challenger ob Tuesday, November 21st.
