Gather a group of up to 6 colleagues and set out to explore the incredible landscapes of Wales. With 829 miles of scenic routes and 56 historic castles scattered across mountains, valleys, and coastlines, this is your chance to experience the country’s rich heritage—one step at a time.
The path is long, but the rewards are worth it. So, lace up your shoes, rally your team, and join the GCS Step Challenge. Wales is waiting—and your journey starts with a single step on Monday 22 September 2025 until Monday 20 October 2025.
All you have to do is..
- Form a team of up to 6 within your department (Team name must be your department, eg HR 1, HR 2 etc)
- Choose a Team Leader who will be Admin for your Team
- Everyone download the app, (link below), register and sync your fitbit, phone or garmin.
- And then…. WALK… All steps count…. the ones around campus, on your daily dog walk, whilst shopping, or hiking up Pen y Fan on the weekend. Your steps will sync within the app and you will be able to track your Teams progress and see how well other Teams are doing
