Make every step count in Barcelona during the 2025 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) with the IASLC Wellness Challenge. The 4-day challenge is complimentary for all in-person WCLC attendees. The event begins at 00:01 Central European Summer Time (CEST) on Saturday, September 6, and runs until 16:00 CEST on Tuesday, September 9.
The challenge allows you to connect with team members from your home region through the IASLC Wellness Challenge app, where you can track your steps using your supported activity tracker device. From there, your logged steps will be converted into points to unlock prizes.
Climb your way to the top of the leaderboard by earning bonus points through additional activities such as interacting with other participants in the app, scanning QR codes at select WCLC locations and events, and logging different fitness activities.
Not only does the Wellness Challenge encourage movement throughout the WCLC, but it also provides opportunities to integrate mindfulness and reflection into your day. Bonus points are available for specific wellness activities. Participants can earn extra points by pausing to follow a meditation video session, logging mindfulness journal entries, and listening to gratitude-guided audio.
Participants can also support the IASLC’s future research initiatives and earn additional points by donating to the IASLC Foundation and participating in The Backyard Steps Experience on Sunday, September 7, starting at 18:30 CEST. Shuttles depart various locations at 18:00 CEST.
The top 25 participants with the highest final cumulative scores will be entered into a drawing to win complimentary registration, travel, and accommodations for WCLC 2026 in Seoul, South Korea.
Participants who reach specific point milestones of 40,000 or higher will be eligible for prizes, including a travel charging mat, a Torrent crossbody sling bag, and a rechargeable deep tissue massage gun.
The first 25 participants to reach 150,000 points will receive an IASLC varsity jacket. These prizes will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Be sure to visit a Wellness Challenge booth as soon as you reach a point milestone.
Additionally, the top 10 earners for each day of the challenge will be entered into a drawing to win a pair of Apple AirPods Pro 2 with an exclusive Wellness Challenge case.
Download the IASLC Wellness Challenge 2025 app to register. After completing the in-app registration, join your team and start moving. Anyone with an Apple or Android smartphone can track their steps, and wearable devices like Fitbit, Garmin, and Apple Watch are also compatible.
