Garmin connect challenges: august walking doesn't count my walks...

Hi! I really like the ability to participate in challenges, but I have a problem with the August Walking challenge: 

- when I record from my watch, I only can choose for the standard "walking", which doesn't count towards walking badgest. I noticed for other challenges I had to change the activity to hiking for them to count towards a goal

- all my walking activities in August so far are registered as "hiking". 

- the challenge progress bar says I only hiked 4.5km, while I did the following: 

7/08: 2.13 km
7/08: 2.25 km
8/08: 6.9 km
10/08: 4.56 km (probably this is the only one counting towards the challenge?). 

How can I fix this?

    You are confusing hiking badges with walking badges. For the "August Walking" badge you need "Walk" activities. For the "August Hiking" badge you need "Hike" activities.

    Edit the activities and change them to "Walk".

    OK, thanks. Yes, it's a little confusing, since my language settings are in Dutch, and 'hiking' is translated as 'wandelen' which actually means 'walking', while 'walking' is translated as 'lopen', which actually means 'running'... ;-) But found it now.
