The World Conference on Lung Cancer’s annual wellness challenge, Step It Up for Research, returns for another year in sunny San Diego. Step It Up for Research is a 4-day walk-a-thon and activity challenge. Join the fun and your steps will earn you points, which may earn you prizes and bragging rights among your peers. All participants will be added to a team, which are determined by each participant’s home region.
In addition to encouraging the physical and mental well-being of WCLC 2024 attendees, the challenge also supports the IASLC Foundation, which provides grants for research, education, and other scientific initiatives. Step It Up for Research is complimentary for all in-person WCLC attendees. The challenge begins at 08:00 PDT on Saturday, September 7, and ends at 17:00 PDT on Tuesday, September 10.

Earn Points
Every step you take during the challenge will earn you—and your team—a point. But don’t stop there. Increase your score by participating in additional activities to earn bonus points. For example, you can earn bonus points by visiting select locations throughout the convention center or by watching brief wellness videos or by donating to the IASLC Foundation. Find all the details about bonus points in the app.
