Step into the heart of Fairbanks! The City of Fairbanks invites downtown businesses and organizations to join the Golden Heart Step Up Challenge, a friendly competition celebrating our walkable Golden Heart City from June 1 to August 31.

How to Participate

  • Sign up your business or organization
  • Encourage employees to take part and track their steps
  • Submit your team’s total steps—and fun photos of your employees out walking—to see how your workplace stacks up and to earn recognition on the City’s Facebook page

Whether you're strolling to meetings, taking a walking break, or getting your team outside for some fresh air, every step helps build a more vibrant, connected downtown. Lace up, team up, and let’s walk the Golden Heart together!
