Irish Life GAA Healthy Clubs Steps Challenge Results

We’ve reached the finish line in the Irish Life GAA Healthy Clubs Steps Challenge, and what a phenomenal five weeks it’s been!

Over 1,100 clubs took part, with more than 38,700 participants collectively tracking an incredible 6.9 million kilometres, all during one of the wettest Januarys since 2018.

To put that into perspective, 6.9 million kilometres is enough to travel to the Moon and back roughly nine times!

What an inspiring team effort from every club involved. Thank you to all who took part, we hope you’ve felt the benefits of being active, connecting with your club, and strengthening your community spirit.
