Walktober is here – team up and get walking!
Walktober Step Challenge: Monday 4th October – Sunday 31st October 2021.
Let’s get walking during the month of October to win some great prizes.
Create or join a Team with your classmates and colleagues to compete against others in NUI Galway and across the country to place on the Leaderboard.
There will be weekly competitions, updated Leaderboards, plenty of prizes and plenty of fun.
Last year we had 98 Teams take part and this year we want to get even more NUI Galway students and staff involved!
