Million Step Team Challenge

Date: 1st May, 2027 - 31st May, 2027

Join us for our Million Step Team Challenge, launching in May and perfectly timed with National Walking Month.

This high-energy friendly competition connects colleagues across the network for a month of serious stepping.

What is the Goal?

As a team, you must collectively conquer one million steps throughout the month. To hit the target, each teammate needs to average just over 8,000 steps per day. We’ll keep the momentum going with regular updates through the app and across our social media channels.

How it Works

Taking part is seamless and digital:

  • Recruit four people to join your team
  • Use our dedicated platform to track progress and watch the live leaderboard
  • Connect your Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Health, or Google Fit

Note on Strava: We focus strictly on steps (no cycling or swimming!). While we don’t sync with Strava directly, your Strava steps will count if they are shared with your phone’s native health app (Apple Health or Health Connect).

Why Join Us?

  • It’s a great way to boost your physical health while supporting the Railway Family
  • See how your team compares to the rest of the rail community in real-time
  • Nothing brings a team together like a shared goal and a bit of friendly, cross-industry competition
