Steptember is an exciting 4 week team activity that runs for the month of September.

Steptember requires participants to form a team of 4. Each Team Member will then track their daily step count (by wearing a pedometer) or other fitness activity and record this on their personalised Steptember webpage.

Participants don’t just have to walk – you can run, cycle, swim or even play bowls to notch up your daily steps. There are over 40 activities to choose from including activities suitable for people with a disability.

Each participant is challenged to walk 10,000 steps per day and as a team virtual climb the highest peak from each continent. 

Each day, when you enter your steps your team will progress up the virtual mountains.

Participants will be encouraged to fundraise from the time they register until the end of the event with all proceeds going towards helping people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities.

Once a team is registered, each participant will be sent a ‘Steptember Kit’ which will include 1 pedometer.
