Mazars Step Challenge 2023

The virtual challenge featured 711 teams of four from across Ireland, covering 521,444 kilometers over four weeks.

Reddy Charlton entered four teams and clocked up a total of 3,400 km.

The virtual walking challenge received team entries from Ireland and across the globe, with teams of four completing 755,297,823 steps and 525,972 kilometres during the four-week virtual walking challenge.

Teams completed a virtual route around the circumference of Ireland, starting and ending in Dublin while hitting key milestones like Giants Causeway, Croagh Patrick and Killarney national park along the way.  An app tracked their real steps throughout their day.

And the results are in…
