2021 SA Billion Steps Challenge

On 1 October 2021, we kicked off the second SA Billion Steps Challenge.

South Australians stepped up and achieved the goal of 1,000,000,000 steps in only 35 days – 29 days faster than last year!

While we may have reached our goal of one billion steps, there are still plenty of ways to stay moving.

We know every step counts and the more we move, the more health and wellbeing benefits we reap.
