NUGENT 10,000KM Walking Challenge 2024
Our Wellbeing Committee organised our annual 10,000KM Walking Challenge for our team across 6 weeks. The initiative is to encourage health and wellbeing, team bonding and family time which has been really successful over the last 3 years!
The challenge begun Monday 17th June ending Sunday 28th July with 10 groups of 5 people aiming to walk / run / jog at least 4.76 KM (2.95 Miles) per day over the 42 days to meet our overall company target. Each team had to complete an average of 33.32 KM per week (20.70 Miles) for us to reach our 10,000KM target.
Each team member provided their weekly KM on a Monday morning from either their smart watch or phones. The captain of each team calculated their overall weekly score and input it into our overall company challenge target.
We totalled to an amazing 15,556KM which was the equivalent to 21,716,842 steps, well done everyone! Our top performer Derick totalled to an amazing 832,328 steps who received a day off Annual Leave.
We had some great team names:
- The Agony of De Feet
- Seans Angels
- Paddy and the Pacemakers
- Neil thinks he’s fit
- Blister Sisters
- Witness the Fitness
- One Step Closer to a day Off
- Scrambled Legs
- Eamon’s Troops
With random games and prizes along the way it has been a very successful 6 week challenge and we would highly recommend it to other companies! From winning Cinema vouchers, Sports Direct vouchers, One4All Voucher and Amazon vouchers there was plenty of motivation throughout!
The winning team ‘Blister Sisters’ totalled to a whooping 1683KM and our overall highest walker Derick each won a well deserved day off 🤩
We raised much needed funds for our chosen charity ‘The Children’s Cancer Unit Charity’ by each participant paying an entry fee.
