Last year, the communities around Rimrose Valley recorded an incredible combined total of 11,626,761 steps on walks and runs across the park throughout the month of September!
And guess what? We’re doing it all again!
This year, we’re hoping to beat that total… AND raise funds for our charity in the process.
How to raise funds in Step-tember
Why are we doing this?
We want everyone to get out in the great outdoors, get active and show just how much you love Rimrose Valley.
How does it work?
Step 1. Choose how you’ll count your steps
- Download the Strava mobile app (or similar) to your phone, OR
- Use a Fitbit, OR
- Use ANY other step-counting device of your choice
Step 2. Record your steps from the start to the end of your run or walk
- As long as your route starts, ends or takes in Rimrose Valley at ANY point, that’s fine
- Part of a running club or walking group? Help us SMASH our target by capturing your training sessions, runs and walks, together! Then ask one person to submit on behalf of your group
- This isn’t just about serious runners or walkers… we want EVERYONE to get involved. If you’re taking the dog for a walk, heading to work, visiting friends or family, or even walking to school across Rimrose Valley, please take part!
- Volunteering with us? Litter picks, 60 Minute Heroes, Wildlife Walks… COUNT THOSE STEPS!
Step 3. Enter your steps on our Google Sheet
- Either scan the large QR code on the poster at the bottom of this page, OR
- Click HERE
We’ll ask for the date of your activity, your name, and the number of steps completed. If you’d like to leave your email address so we can keep in touch, that would be great. You can even tell us a little about the how this activity has made you feel or what sights and sounds you experienced. (Both are optional)
Step 4. Do it all again on your next run or walk!
Step 5. Don’t forget to ask your friends and family to sponsor you!
There’s no limit to the number of times you can take part and we want to capture AS MANY STEPS as possible
We’ll be sharing updates on progress throughout the month, so follow our social media channels.
Please get involved and help us SMASH our target.
