In a summer packed with sport, from the Football World Cup and the Women’s Scottish Open to the Commonwealth Games, Walking Scotland want everyone to get out walking and wheeling!
The Walking Scotland Summer of Sport Step Count Challenge is a free four-week team walking challenge running Monday 06 July until Sunday 02 August 2026.
This special edition of the step count challenge is about tapping into the summer buzz and feeling part of something big happening across the country.
Who can take part?
- Teams of up to five people
- Everyone aged 16+
- Groups from clubs, organisations and workplaces, universities and colleges, families, friends, and communities
About the challenge
You can join at any point and log steps for a few days, a fortnight or the full four weeks - the choice is yours!
If your teams enter the same workplace name at the point of booking, you can also toggle the leaderboard to see just your teams.
The Summer of Sport Step Count Challenge is intentionally designed to be flexible, social and low-barrier, making it a strong entry point for those who may not engage in traditional sport offers. They’re encouraging people to start where they are and enjoy four weeks of fresh air, fun and friendly competition.
Take part
This inclusive, light challenge could be something your colleagues and members might really enjoy – an energising way to enjoy the longer, lighter summer days. Here’s a little bit more on how to take part:
- Visit the Summer of Sport page on our website for more information
- Sign up or log in to register your team of up to five for free
They’re keen to reduce barriers to participation, including digital access and confidence, so if you have people interested in taking part who don’t have access to a device to track or upload steps, please get in touch with them once you've registered.
