But, there is still six weeks to go to see your team in the top 10!
Simon Martin, health improvement senior – Healthy Working Lives, NHS Lanarkshire said “It’s great to see so many walkers getting involved in the challenge again this year.
“I hope the next six weeks bring everyone involved more active outings, trips to their favourite places, more exciting supermarket, school runs and bike rides, and socialising!
“It’s not all about winning, but the fun we have along the way.”
