STEPN detailed what the Marathon Season 3 Season Pass ($20) includes, covering benefits across Marathon Season 3 and STEPN for committed players. The pass grants a STEPN Premium Membership, plus access to the season's Marathon Sneaker and Marathon Genesis Sneaker designs — 50 candlelit designs offered to pass holders who complete the Round Energy requirement.

STEPN has set dates for STEPNathon 3, the season-endurance finale tied to the ongoing Marathon event. The challenge runs Oct 26 to Nov 2 with 21 km and 42 km distance options, and the team is positioning the Marathon as the training ground, urging users to build endurance beforehand.

• STEPNathon 3 follows the format of prior finals, where completing a distance earns raffle entries in the app where the run is finished.
• Specific rewards for this edition have not yet been detailed in the announcement.

STEPN has officially launched its new leaderboard badges for competitive players. The "This is My Week" badge is earned by reaching or beating the 5,000th / 3,000th / 1,000th / 500th / 200th positions on the Weekly Leaderboard, while the monthly badge requires reaching or beating 1,000th / 500th / 300th / 200th / 100th on the Monthly Leaderboard. Weekly and monthly badges are sent out at the end of every week or month.

The announcement also adds two all-time tiers: "This is What Success Looks Like" (top 500th to 10th) and "Cream of the Crop" (top 5th to 1st) on the All-Time Leaderboard. The badges extend STEPN's achievement system from milestone-based goals to rankings, giving players recognition for climbing and holding positions on the leaderboards.

STEPN's fifth-anniversary #STEPNEMBER5 celebration enters Week 3 (Sept 14-21, 8am UTC), themed DISTANCE. On STEPN in-app, participants who complete a 5 km session are eligible for a 1 Legendary Sneaker reward.

The weekly challenge is part of the wider fifth-anniversary push, which has already included airdropped anniversary backgrounds and a special Uncommon Sneaker design for STEPN GO. Eligible Week 3 finishers are also automatically entered into a separate draw.

STEPN unveiled a special #STEPNEMBER5 Uncommon Sneaker design for STEPN GO, created to celebrate five years of movement, milestones and community. The anniversary design brings the celebration to every step and carries a hidden "5" mark as a nod to the milestone.

It joins the wider fifth-anniversary push, which has included exclusive anniversary backgrounds airdropped to active users across STEPN and STEPN GO.

STEPN announced it has surpassed 54,000 active users in September, unlocking a community goal that triggered the airdrop of exclusive #STEPNEMBER5 5th-anniversary backgrounds to eligible users across STEPN and STEPN GO. The airdrop has now been distributed, with a separate anniversary badge still available for users who complete the full anniversary challenge.
