Over 500 NHSL staff members have signed up for this year’s Walking Challenge, and there’s still time for you to get involved in the fun!
With less than one week to enter, registration closes at midnight on Sunday 17 April! Register here.
There are plenty of open teams you can add yourself to, or why not set your own target and go it alone? Choose a fun team name and get ready to stride through the streets in less than a weeks’ time.
The challenge will start on Monday 18 April, set your own goals, or don’t! Just try and log your steps so you can chart your progress through the milestones of Italy and see what you can learn along the way. Above all, remember this is your challenge! It’s about having fun and getting outdoors.
Simon Martin, health improvement senior – Healthy Working Lives, NHS Lanarkshire said: “This is a great opportunity for staff to get out and about and take part in a lighthearted challenge. My dog, Tilly is especially excited and for a bit of fun, I’ve put together her thoughts on the walking challenge!”
“My owner works for NHSL and I love it when the walking challenge comes around because I get out more. I get to sniff more lampposts, which is my favourite but I also get more fresh air and to look at the scenery which makes me much more calm in the house which Simon likes! It just makes me feel better getting out. Why don’t you get out? It might make you feel better? Just remember to log your steps!”
Some teams who have registered are: Chafing The Dream Sole Sisters, Red Hot Chilli Steppers and These boots are made for walking.
See you at the virtual start-line in Genoa! Sign up here.
