Why should my club get involved?

Each January, participants join Every Step Counts to support their club and get active. The challenge not only helps to increase physical activity - participants also report feeling healthier, more motivated and more connected to their community.

In Every Step Counts 2024 40,000 participants from over 900 clubs across the country tracked 6.6 million kilometres. That’s enough distance to walk around Ireland 2,085 times! 570 Clubs achieved the 4,000km distance over 5 weeks and were entered into our prize draw in their province. A massive community effort by all.
