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 to get involved:
Firstly, please ensure a nominated person from your club completes the official Ireland’s Lights Up Registration Form to be eligible for the prize. While clubs who entered the 2025 iteration of the challenge will automatically be entered to the 2026 challenge, you will still need to fill in the form to be eligible for the prize.
Check our club registration list here. It’s updated daily to check if your club has already registered.
Registered clubs will receive a confirmation email from MyLife with further instructions on how to join your club and get tracking.
