FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Clock up your steps each day however it suits you. Whether you’re keeping up your normal exercise routine or trying to get active, make up your 11,000 steps a day your way. From walking your commute, to heading outside with friends and family or getting your steps in around the house - you decide how to hit your target. Please make sure you follow all government guidelines and stay safe.

Make sure to plan your routes, let someone know where you’re going, wear reflective clothing and always have a backup plan in case things don’t go to plan.

Anyone and everyone, all abilities are welcome, so long as you can walk or wheel every day. Get involved on your own, as a family or team of friends. It’s also a great challenge to take on with colleagues... nothing like a bit of friendly rivalry! Get in your steps whichever way you choose over the course of the month.

If you’re a wheelchair user, the steps equate to around five miles per day, so you can use this as a target to wheel every day throughout September.

The goal is 11,000 steps a day to represent the more than 11,000 dads, partners, grandads, sons, brothers, uncles and mates who lose their lives to prostate cancer every year, but there’s lots of ways you can adapt this goal to suit you. You can aim for this number of steps each day as a team or family, increase your daily step goal, lower your daily step goal if you need to or choose a daily distance instead (five miles is roughly 11,000 steps). Update your page story to let people know your goal and adapt the challenge to suit you, while raising vital funds and awareness for prostate cancer.  

Yes – one team, one dream! It’s easy to register as a team. Follow our guide on creating a team and joining an existing team. If you sign up with a team and want to march together, please make sure you follow all government guidelines and stay safe.
