Workplace Walking Challenges
May is National Walking Month, and we are celebrating all things walking with North Somerset Walk Fest!
Two walking challenges are available this May to encourage you and your colleagues to walk a little more:
Workplace Walking Challenge
This challenge for North Somerset workplaces will take place during National Walking Month, from 1 to 31 May.
Join a team of up to 10 colleagues and challenge other North Somerset workplaces. All we need to know is how many steps you and your team did each week.
At the start of June, we will be collecting the final number of steps teams have done and be contacting prize winners. The aim of the challenge is to encourage people to walk a little more, so it doesn’t matter how many steps you do.
There are 10 x £20 Love to Shop vouchers available as prizes, these will be chosen at random.
You could also challenge your team to walk the length of Britain which is about 870 miles. As 2,000 steps is about a mile, your team would need to walk 1,740,000 steps!
To enter, please email: getactive@n-somerset.gov.uk
Deadline to sign up: Monday 28 April
