Fitness Challenges

In the 2020/21 academic year we hosted three fitness challenges. A massive well done to all the teams who took part!  The challenges aimed to engage both staff and students in all forms of physical activity.  We were keen on ensuring that everyone taking part had a place, whether that was a participant wanting to take up walking or running for the first time, or someone more competitive who wanted to log as many steps as they could per day.

26 teams participated in November's Step Count Challenge. Collectively they walked 17,043,631 steps – the equivalent of walking to New Delhi, India and back!

Testimonials

Participants shared photos of their daily walks, and provided testimonials on how they got on with the challenge.
