At the end of Week 2 in our Every Step Counts Challenge, we have now surpassed our initial 4,000km goal! We have registered a super healthy 6,655km in combined steps which is a wonderful effort by all involved whether you are taking some small steps, walking, active in the gym or running. Those combined efforts have us currently sitting in the Top 25 on the Ulster Club Leader Board!
 

As we approach the midway point of the challenge, there will be a 5K walk through the village at 10am this Sunday morning, 25 January. Meeting point will be The Rusheen. This is open to everyone and all are welcome whether you are taking part in the challenge or not. 

And for those that do want to sign up, there is still plenty of time and the mid-way point is a good marker to get you going.

All you need is a phone. Make sure you are using a fitness wearable, either a physical tracker or by having your phone on you.
