City of Onkaparinga Six Week Step Challenge

About the Challenge.

By signing up as a 10,000 Steps member and entering a postcode located within the City of Onkaparinga, participants steps were automatically added to the Challenge total.

The Challenge has now finished. Participants will have until Sunday 16th of July to amend step entries within the Challenge timeframe.

The Challenge will be officially closed on Monday 17th of July.

Keep finding more ways to move.

More steps can be taken throughout the day by making small choices such as parking further away, taking the stairs, taking a phone call on the go, planning to catch up with a friend for a walk or taking your dog for a lap around the neighbourhood.

Go further by exploring the sights within your community or enjoying a bushwalk on the weekend. Other activities such as swimming and cycling can also be included by entering time of activity in minutes into the moderate and vigorous sections which adds an estimated step count to your daily total.

Find more about events in the City of Onkaparinga here including the Move It program which offers a range of innovative programs and activities in local parks, reserves, bikeways and spaces.

The City of Onkaparinga offers a range of other programs and ideas, many of them free, to help get you moving and step up to the six-week challenge.

If you’re keen to explore your local area and/or meet new people while you walk, why not join a friendly local Heart Foundation Walking group in your area, a small guided walk of a local heritage place.

If you’re looking to pick up the pace a bit (though walking is fine too!), the iconic weekly timed five-kilometre parkrun takes place at five locations across Onkaparinga every Saturday morning.

If you want to include the family in the fun, you could have an interactive mobile experience at Wilfred Taylor Reserve or Thalassa Park, or try your hand at a new sport such as Disc Golf.

And, if you need a break from racking up pure walking steps, why not take a free outdoor OUTFIT group fitness class, have a swim or a group fitness class at the Noarlunga Aquatic Centre, or join/start a local sporting team—for example at one of council’s four recreation centres or by searching this directory of our local sports and recreation clubs.
