May 1 to 31, 2025 - Pedometer Challenge

What is the pedometer challenge?

The pedometer challenge has attracted more than 150 participants every year for the past ten years. It is simple to do, accessible to everyone, and can have a significant impact on your health.

The goal is to try to walk 8,000 steps a day throughout the month of May.

Walking daily helps to reduce the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle while considerably improving your physical and mental health.
