WLV strides to success in the National Walking Month challenge

The results are in from the WLV Sport and WLV Wellbeing National Walking Month challenge

The campaign which ran between 17 April - 14 May, challenged participants to see how far around the world we can collectively walk within 4 weeks. 

Despite it being a quiet time of the year, the campaign was a great success with a final step count of 2,688,820.  This means collectively we walked around 1,250 miles – equivalent to walking from the top of the UK to the bottom and back, or the length of France and Italy combined!

A huge thank you to everyone who stepped up whether as part of the Walk and Talk sessions run by the student volunteer Wellbeing Champions (pictured) or via your own endeavours.
