Irish Life GAA Healthy Clubs Steps Challenge 2026
We’re back for our 7th year for the Irish Life GAA Healthy Clubs Steps Challenge, one of Ireland’s biggest walking challenges, bringing clubs and communities together.
The Prize
The same *€30,000 in prize funding is up for grabs and you don’t have to be a member of any GAA Club to get involved. Kicking off on 7th January 2026 – we’re asking participants to track a combined 4000km over 5 weeks up until 11th February. Any club hitting the 4000km on the finish date will be entered into a draw to win a share of €30,000 funding for their club.
Here's how Clubs can get involved
Please ensure a nominated person from your club completes the official
2026 Ireland Lights Up Club Registration Form. Even if your club is displayed via the
club dropdown in the challenge on MyLife, you will still need to fill in the 2026 club form to be eligible for the prize.
