About the Program:
ClubPed is a simple, free online program from the American Diabetes Association to track your walking steps. Register online for free and you can immediately begin to log your walks. The registration page asks only for name, email, age, and location and what sorts of diabetes information you would find of interest. This is a fun online tracker for any walker, not just those with diabetes.Register at ClubPed
