Move Together with Malaysia: Samsung and HOKA Challenge Malaysians To Take Up The Steps
August 24, 2026This Merdeka season, Samsung Malaysia and HOKA are encouraging Malaysians to celebrate differently — by getting moving together.
The two brands have teamed up for the “Move Together with Malaysia” Challenge, a nationwide initiative that encourages Malaysians to stay active, move more and work towards a healthier lifestyle while celebrating the spirit of togetherness.
Running from 26 August to 16 September 2026, the challenge gives participants a simple mission: clock 150,000 steps during the campaign period for a chance to walk away with exclusive rewards.
150,000 Steps — One Step at a Time
At first glance, 150,000 steps might sound like a huge target. But spread across the challenge period, it works out to roughly 6,800 steps a day.
That makes the challenge much easier to fit into your everyday routine.
Your steps can come from almost anywhere — whether you’re taking a morning walk, heading to work, going for an evening run, making a quick coffee run or simply taking the stairs instead of the lift.
Every step counts towards your Merdeka mission.
And you don’t need to own a Galaxy Watch to participate. Your smartphone is all you need, with Samsung Health tracking your steps as you work towards the 150,000-step target.
How to Join the Move Together with Malaysia Challenge
Getting started is relatively straightforward.
- Open the Samsung Health app and make sure you are logged in to your Samsung Account.
- Tap the three dots at the top-right corner and select Promotion, then look for the “Move Together with Malaysia” Challenge banner. You can also find the challenge card on the Samsung Health home page and tap “Join Now.”
- Start clocking your steps between 26 August and 16 September 2026. Your progress will automatically be recorded under the “Together” page in Samsung Health.
- Once you reach 150,000 steps and become a Finisher, answer a simple question for a chance to win an exclusive prize.
The idea is simple: instead of treating exercise as another task on your to-do list, the challenge encourages you to make movement part of your everyday routine.
Finish the Challenge and Unlock Rewards
Of course, a little extra motivation never hurts.
Every Finisher will be entitled to a RM200 Samsung voucher, which can be used towards eligible Galaxy wearables, including the latest Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9.
That means completing the challenge could give you another reason to continue tracking your activity and staying on top of your wellness goals.
But Samsung isn’t stopping there.
In collaboration with HOKA, 50 creative winners will also receive a HOKA cap worth RM199.
So, there is more than just the satisfaction of hitting 150,000 steps waiting at the finish line.
You Don’t Need to Be a Runner
One of the more approachable aspects of the challenge is that you don’t have to be a serious runner or fitness enthusiast to take part.
The campaign is designed around everyday movement.
Walking around the neighbourhood, taking a longer route to your destination, moving around at work or choosing the stairs can all contribute towards your target.
The goal is to make those small decisions throughout the day add up.
With Malaysia’s Merdeka celebrations underway, the “Move Together with Malaysia” Challenge offers a different way to celebrate — by getting Malaysians moving together, one step at a time.
So, grab your smartphone, open Samsung Health and start working towards those 150,000 steps.
Because this Merdeka, it isn’t just about moving forward as an individual. When Malaysia moves together, every step moves us forward.
