Drumhowan GAA are delighted once again to launch the Irish Life Every Step Counts challenge in partnership with the GAA Community & Health department. After such great numbers in 2023 we are looking forward to many people returning this year. This challenge is in support of club and community members getting active in January and February. In 2024 it will be over 5 weeks from Monday 8th January to Monday 12th February
This year we will also integrate Ireland Lights Up as part of the challenge. Each Wednesday from the 10th of January till Wednesday 14th February from 7-8.30pm we will light up the club grounds so people can walk together to enhance our sense of community. Young and old are invited to this. Hopefully this year will be the last year of walking on the grass as the club have submitted a Sports Capital Grant Application for the Walking Track and should know by late Spring / early Summer if the application has been successful. With the grant and money saved from the OSkars a few years back the project will be able to proceed.
Please also let our Acting Healthy Club Officer Noel Duffy know at noelduffy77@gmail.com that you have registered so you can be put on a mailing list to be kept updated.
Details about the Irish Life Every Steps Counts Challenge
We are asking you (over the age of 18) to track a collective 4,000km over the weeks (that’s roughly the distance around Ireland!) between Monday 10th January and Monday 12th February to be entered into our prize draw.
What are the Prizes?
In each province there are 3x O’Neills vouchers up for grabs – each €2,500, Any club that tracks more than 4,000km during Every Step Counts will be entered into our prize draw in their province.
There is no minimum number of participants per club to be eligible to win, so get stepping!
Club Prizes
This year we are also going to have 2 prizes just for those competing with the club.
