How it Works
Aim for 50,000 steps each week for 6 weeks – that’s just over 7,000 steps per day!
You can log steps automatically by syncing a device/app to your Buena Vida account, or you may manually log your steps by the Sunday of each week.
Each week you hit your step goal, you’ll “unlock” a Texas State Park and receive an exclusive video highlighting it. You’ll also be entered into a weekly prize drawing for an Annual Texas State Parks pass, valued at $70.
Complete all six weeks to be entered into a grand prize drawing.
