Community Step Challenge: Get Your Pedometers Ready!

Published 13th October 2026

Get active and see how many steps you can clock up this November!

Whether you're already a regular walker or just looking for a little motivation to get moving, Council's Community Step Challenge is a simple way to get active and challenge yourself throughout November.

Council is encouraging the community to get moving, be active and make a few extra steps part of the everyday routine. Every step counts, whether you're heading out for a walk, doing jobs around the house or simply finding little ways to move more during the day.

The challenge runs from 1–30 November 2026. Simply track your daily steps using your smartphone or smartwatch. Don't have one of these - no worries - pop into the Council office to collect a free pedometer and record your total on Council's Daily Step Record Sheet.
