Steps2Fitness is walking challenge designed for individuals across both NICS staff and nicssa members. This year’s challenge ran from Monday 5th to Friday 30 January 2026, encouraging participants to get moving, boost their wellbeing and collect as many steps as possible throughout the challenge.
Participants were encouraged to get the office together to take part in this challenge which ran for the month and get as many steps as possible. Participants shared their walks, progress and motivation through our private NICS Facebook page and private Steps2Fitness Strava group.
Despite January challenging us in itself the weather, participants remained committed to get their steps in.
There were three spot prizes up for grabs for those participating and they included:
- Spot Prize: £50 Voucher: Choose between JD Sports, Sports Direct or Go Outdoors
- Spot Prize: Nicssa Wellbeing Hamper
- Strava Top of the Leaderboard Prize £50 Voucher: Choose between JD Sports, Sports Direct or Go Outdoors
Our winners of these Prizes were:
Andy Morrison from Carrickfergus
Joanne Purdy from Coleraine
Judy Hamilton from Dundonald
