From SG61 to every day: How 6,100 steps can inspire healthier habits

At the inaugural Samsung Galaxy Walkathon, 6,100 steps set the tone for a bigger idea – that walking, nudged along by tools like the Galaxy Watch and the Samsung Health app, is a simple way to build lasting health

Building a healthier lifestyle does not always require a high-intensity workout. Sometimes, it can begin with something as simple and accessible as walking.

That was the idea behind the Samsung Galaxy Walkathon on Sept 13, 2026, a free community wellness event which brought more than 610 people to the National Stadium at 7am for a scenic 5km walk around The Kallang precinct.

The target for the morning was at least 6,100 steps per person – a nod to Singapore’s 61st birthday – but also a reminder that simple, everyday movement can add up.

Organised by Samsung Electronics Singapore and supported by The Kallang Group, Singtel and SPH Media, the Samsung Galaxy Walkathon is part of the nationwide health movement for SG61.

The event was held in support of the Singapore Heart Foundation, to raise awareness of heart health while getting friends and family moving together. Samsung also made a monetary contribution to the Foundation to support its heart health initiatives.

But Samsung’s push to get people moving did not begin at the National Stadium. Ahead of the Galaxy Walkathon, more than 100 of its employees took time out of their workday for a walk or run to Labrador Park, putting the same message of making movement part of everyday life into practice.

The Galaxy Walkathon extended that idea to the wider community. After completing the 5km route, participants enjoyed a guided cooldown and refueled with complimentary refreshments. More activities awaited them at the National Stadium Experience, where a range of experiences brought fitness, community and fun together for the whole family.

At the Walkers’ Village, participants got hands-on with the latest Galaxy devices, and explored various zones and interactive experiences. Other activities included the AL!VE Artisan Market, an inflatable playground and even sports try-outs.

Supporting healthier habits beyond the event

While the Galaxy Walkathon brought Singaporeans together for one meaningful morning of movement, Samsung Health is designed to help users continue building healthier habits every day.

Jeffrey Hahn, Samsung Electronics Singapore president, says: “We strongly believe that technology can make a real difference in our everyday lives. The inaugural Galaxy Walkathon hopes to encourage Singaporeans to take a first step to everyday wellness goals, while supporting a worthy cause in raising heart health awareness.

“Along with our partners, we hope to make 6,100 steps a daily habit for more, while demonstrating how Samsung Health can help individuals have a better grasp of their overall well-being.”

The Samsung Health app allows users to track metrics like their daily activity and sleep patterns.

A free comprehensive fitness and lifestyle tracking app, Samsung Health keeps users in sync with their physical, mental and emotional wellness with a range of features.

These track and monitor heart activity around the clock, sleep patterns, dietary habits, and even mood and stress levels. A unique function also monitors noise levels in the user’s surrounding environment.

The app works in tandem with Galaxy smartwatches to help track your steps and set activity challenges for friendly competition or motivation. You can also receive personalised goal-based guidance and milestone celebrations tailored to your own daily output.

Working with the Samsung Health app, Galaxy smartwatches support users on their fitness journey through activity challenges, goal-based guidance and more.

One example is the Heart Health Score on the new Galaxy Watch9 , which personalises your training goals to match your body and health data, and advises you when you can take it further or dial things down for recovery.

For more rigorous activities like trail runs and hikes, the new Galaxy Watch Ultra2 now provides up to 60 hours of battery power and is dive-ready down to 40m. The Trail Run feature tracks detailed elevation, climbing progress and terrain impact, allowing you to better pace yourself and reduce injury risk, while the Nutrition Alert feature lets users know when and how much to hydrate as it estimates sweat loss relative to body weight.

Says Ronnie Ng, vice-president and head of Mobile eXperience at Samsung Electronics Singapore: “The new Galaxy smartwatches can help users track their performance progress during sporting activities of all intensity levels, which is especially pertinent as we’re seeing more Singaporeans adopting healthy lifestyles.”

在首届三星Galaxy健走活动中，6100步的成绩奠定了基调，也预示着一个更宏大的理念——步行，在Galaxy Watch和三星健康应用程序等工具的辅助下，是构建持久健康的一种简单方法。

养成更健康的生活方式并不总是需要高强度锻炼。有时，它可以从像散步这样简单易行的运动开始。

这就是三星 Galaxy Walkathon 活动背后的理念。该活动于 2026 年 9 月 13 日举行，是一项免费的社区健康活动，当天早上 7 点，超过 610 人来到国家体育场，在加冷区进行了 5 公里的风景优美的步行活动。

当天上午的目标是每人至少走 6100 步——这既是为了庆祝新加坡建国 61 周年——也是为了提醒大家，简单的日常运动也能积少成多。

由三星电子新加坡公司主办，加冷集团、新加坡电信和新加坡报业控股媒体支持的三星 Galaxy 健走活动是 SG61 全国健康运动的一部分。

此次活动旨在支持新加坡心脏基金会，提高公众对心脏健康的认识，并鼓励亲朋好友一起运动。三星也向该基金会捐款，以支持其心脏健康项目。

但三星鼓励人们动起来的努力并非始于国家体育场。在Galaxy健走活动之前，超过100名员工抽出工作时间前往拉布拉多公园散步或跑步，将运动融入日常生活的理念付诸实践。

银河健走活动将这一理念推广到了更广泛的社区。参与者完成5公里路线后，享受了由专人指导的放松活动，并品尝了免费茶点。随后，他们前往国家体育场体验区，体验一系列将健身、社区互动和娱乐完美融合的活动，适合全家参与。

在沃克村，参与者们亲身体验了最新的三星Galaxy设备，并探索了各个区域和互动体验项目。其他活动还包括AL!VE手工艺品市集、充气游乐场，甚至还有体育运动试训。

在活动之外，继续支持更健康的生活习惯

Galaxy Walkathon 让新加坡人聚集在一起，进行了一次有意义的晨间运动，而 Samsung Health 则旨在帮助用户每天继续养成更健康的生活习惯。

三星电子新加坡总裁Jeffrey Hahn表示：“我们坚信科技能够真正改变我们的日常生活。首届Galaxy健走活动旨在鼓励新加坡人迈出实现日常健康目标的第一步，同时支持提高公众心脏健康意识这一有意义的事业。”

“我们希望与合作伙伴一起，让更多人养成每天走 6100 步的习惯，同时展示三星健康如何帮助人们更好地了解自己的整体健康状况。”

三星健康应用程序允许用户跟踪诸如日常活动和睡眠模式等指标。

Samsung Health 是一款免费的综合性健身和生活方式追踪应用程序，它通过一系列功能，帮助用户了解自己的身体、心理和情绪健康状况。

这些设备可以全天候追踪和监测心脏活动、睡眠模式、饮食习惯，甚至情绪和压力水平。一项独特的功能还能监测用户周围环境的噪音水平。

这款应用可与 Galaxy 智能手表配合使用，帮助您追踪步数，并设置活动挑战，进行良性竞争或激励自己。您还可以获得个性化的目标导向指导和里程碑庆祝活动，这些都根据您的每日运动表现量身定制。

Galaxy 智能手表配合三星健康应用程序，通过活动挑战、目标导向的指导等方式，为用户的健身之旅提供支持。

例如，新款 Galaxy Watch9 的心脏健康评分功能可以根据您的身体和健康数据个性化您的训练目标，并建议您何时可以加大训练强度或降低训练强度以进行恢复。

对于越野跑和徒步等强度更高的运动，新款 Galaxy Watch Ultra2 的电池续航时间长达 60 小时，并支持 40 米潜水。越野跑功能可追踪详细的海拔、爬升进度和地形影响，帮助您更好地控制节奏，降低受伤风险；营养提醒功能则可根据体重估算汗液流失量，从而告知用户何时以及需要补充多少水分。

三星电子新加坡公司副总裁兼移动体验主管 Ronnie Ng 表示：“新款 Galaxy 智能手表可以帮助用户跟踪他们在各种强度级别的运动中的表现进度，这一点尤其重要，因为我们看到越来越多的新加坡人开始采用健康的生活方式。”
