    May is National Walking Month, and Fife Active Communities Team is delighted to launch this year's walking challenge – The Commonwealth Mile.  

    The goal is simple: they want as many people as possible in Fife to walk, wheel or cycle at least 1 mile every day throughout May. That's 31 miles over the month - or more if you choose to set yourself a bigger goal.   

    Why take part?  

    Walking, wheeling or cycling one mile a day is a great way to stay active, improve your health and wellbeing, and connect with others. It’s an inclusive and accessible challenge that helps build movement into everyday life. The Commonwealth Mile is: 

    • Free to take part 
    • Suitable for all ages and abilities and no special equipment needed 
    • Open to people who walk, wheel or cycle making it accessible to more people in Fife

    You can take part as an individual or you can get together with friends, family or work colleagues and enter as a team.  The aim is to get as many Fifers as possible moving everyday throughout May! 

    To find out more about this year's challenge visit Active Fife Walking Challenge Website and sign up by completing the May Walking Challenge form.
