What is March through March?

A month-long challenge to hit 300,000 steps (or you can set your own target)! There’s no need to be a fitness pro – this challenge lets you set your own new year’s fitness goals, all while making a positive impact on a community dealing with life-limiting illnesses. 🎇

Whether you’re a regular walker or just starting out, March through March is for everyone. Your challenge, your way – walk, run, or team up with friends, family or work colleagues. Spread those steps out over a month or jump ahead – it’s your choice!

 Why Participate?

🚶‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Fitness Boost: Embrace the 300,000-step challenge (or set your own target) to not only help improve your physical health but also work wonders for your mental wellbeing. By Marching through March, we promise that you will feel a great sense of accomplishment.

🤝 Community Spirit: Join a lively community of participants, sharing the journey towards better health and giving back to the community. Feel the uplifting spirit of the community as we stride, run, and walk together, creating a supportive network that makes the March through March challenge a shared, empowering experience.

🙌 Impactful Giving: Each step you take is a double win – benefiting your health and contributing to a noble cause. Every raised fund directly allows East Cheshire Hospice to continue to provide quality care and comfort to those in our community with a life limiting illness. So, let’s do your bit!

🎁 Free T-Shirt: As a thank you for joining the challenge, we will send you a complimentary challenge t-shirt to proudly wear as you embark on your new fitness goal.
