Spring Spark
Spring is here, and it's time to shake off those winter blues! Your April goal is to build a streak of seven active days in a row. Consistency is the name of the game.
Here's how it works: each day, simply complete one 15-minute activity - whether it's a brisk walk, a quick workout, or even a few laps around the office. If you can achieve a seven day streak you'll go into our April prize draw to win a £25 Nike voucher.
📆 1 April to 30 April 2025

Spring Roll 100
Spring has sprung, and it’s the perfect time to get those wheels turning! This April, we're setting you a thrilling challenge to cycle a total of 100 miles. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just starting out, this is your chance to push your limits and enjoy the outdoors.
Here’s how it works: Over the course of the month, track your cycling distance. Each ride brings you closer to the 100-mile mark. Reach or exceed this goal by April 30th, and you'll be entered into a prize draw for a £25 Alpkit voucher.

💂♂️ London - Join The 1% 🏃♀️🚶♂️
The London Marathon is an incredible event with around 50,000 people of all shapes, sizes and abilities pushing themselves to their limit. It's a wonderful experience to watch and even better to run it.
Only about 1% of people ever run a marathon, but you don't need to be a super experienced runner to take on the challenge. In fact, many people walk much of the 26.2 mile London route. The race is always oversubscribed so you can either enter the ballot (you'll have about a 1 in 10 chance) or look for a charity place. The ballot will open on Friday 25 April 2025 and close on Friday 2 May 2025.
Starts 1 May: The Walk Stars
Let’s celebrate National Walking Month with an exciting new challenge! 🌸 As the flowers bloom and the days grow longer, May is the perfect time to lace up your shoes and step outside for some fresh air.
Whether it’s a stroll through your local park or a brisk walk to work, walking is not only great for your physical health but also an excellent way to clear your mind and boost your mood.
This May, your goal is to walk 25 miles or more! Hit the 25-mile goal, and you’ll go into a prize draw to win one of three £25 Decathlon vouchers.
Rory Wins The Masters!
You don’t need to be a golf fan to feel something about Rory McIlroy’s amazing and well-deserved Masters win.
After 17 years of chasing that green jacket - through near-misses, public setbacks, and a decade-long major drought - McIlroy finally did it. But what made this win so powerful wasn’t just the trophy. It was the grit, patience, and refusal to quit when the world assumed his moment had passed.
This wasn’t a story of instant glory. It was a story of showing up, again and again, without guarantees. Of learning from failure, staying in the game, and trusting that your best chapter might still be ahead. In a culture obsessed with rapid success and shortcut 'hacks', McIlroy’s journey is a reminder that progress isn’t linear, and perseverance is its own quiet kind of victory.
So here’s to those still putting in the work - the late bloomers, the not-quite-there-yets, and the everyday people improving themselves through movement. Keep going. Your moment might be closer than you think.
