Well done and thank you to everyone who took part in the Active Fife May Walking Challenge – The Commonwealth Mile 🎉

Over 500 people got involved this year – including 205 individuals and 33 teams, that's around 300 people enjoying the challenge as part of a team.

Together, we walked and wheeled 49,059 miles, travelling virtually through 31 Commonwealth countries, across six continents, and all the way back home to Scotland.

That’s a huge achievement – powered by everyday movement across Fife 💪

We’ve reached the end of week 3 of our May Walking Challenge – the Commonwealth Mile🥳

So far we have travelled through 22 Commonwealth countries, reaching the Pacific and journeying through Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand, finishing the week in Tonga.

💡 Did you know?
Australia tops the Commonwealth Games medal table with over 2,600 medals – a great reminder that big achievements come from small, consistent efforts.

👣 Final push
If you’ve missed a day or two, that’s okay. Gentle, steady movement still supports your health, mood and energy. Every mile logged this final week helps carry us back to Scotland.
