Spring Step Challenge 2026
Page updated: 30/04/2026
To celebrate National Walking Month in May, we are launching our Step Challenge! The concept is simple – do as many steps as you can over a 21 day period. Doing 10,000 steps a day for 21 days can help establish the routine of daily walking and begin strengthening the brain’s habit-forming pathways, increasing the likelihood that the behaviour becomes a regular part of your lifestyle.
There are many ways to get your steps in, whether it be getting out for a walk in your lunch break, walking to the local shop instead of driving, getting out for a jog after work or even marching on the spot during your virtual team meeting (it’s been known to happen!). Every step counts so be as inventive as possible.
This year’s challenge will take place between Monday 4th of May at 12:00am until 25th of May at 23:59. You can participate as both an individual or a group. The maximum number of people should be 10.
Each week the excel spreadsheet will calculate your average steps (this is done for both individuals and groups).
Participants can download an excel spreadsheet. At the end of the three weeks, there is the option of submitting your average steps in Step Challenge 2026 – Fill in form.
If you would like to submit your steps, we can see which individual or team did the most steps and a winner will be announced in June.
However submitting your steps is not mandatory and if you would like to download the excel forms and keep track of your own steps for your personal use, that is also an option.
To download the excel please see Step Challenge 2026. If you have any further questions, please email health&wellbeing@carmarthenshire.gov.uk.
