As Walking Month comes to an end, we’re celebrating the incredible efforts of the Evans Homes team, who took on the challenge of walking 10,000 steps every day throughout May.

The challenge was designed to encourage everyone to get moving, prioritise their wellbeing and make the most of the lighter evenings and beautiful outdoor spaces around us. From lunchtime strolls to evening walks with family and friends, our team embraced the challenge and collectively clocked up thousands of miles over the course of the month.

The Final Results

After 31 days of determination, dedication and plenty of walking shoes, our top steppers were:

🏆 1st Place – Mark with an incredible 475,000 total steps

🥈 2nd Place – Debbie with 370,000 total steps

🥉 3rd Place – Nicola with 310,000 total steps

A huge congratulations to everyone who took part and helped make the challenge such a success. Every step counted, and it was fantastic to see colleagues supporting and motivating one another throughout the month.

A special mention must go to Debbie, who achieved an outstanding milestone by not missing a single day of her 10,000-step target during the entire month. A remarkable achievement and a testament to her commitment.

Making the Most of Yorkshire’s Great Outdoors

One of the many benefits of the challenge was discovering and enjoying the fantastic walking routes surrounding our developments.

At Skelton Lakes, residents have access to beautiful lakeside trails, woodland walks and open green spaces, offering the perfect setting for a daily walk while enjoying nature just moments from home.

Meanwhile, at Regency Place in Tockwith, residents can enjoy peaceful village surroundings, countryside walks and quiet rural routes that make fitting in those daily steps both easy and enjoyable.

Looking ahead, our upcoming communities in Brayton and Whinmoor will also offer residents fantastic opportunities to embrace an active lifestyle. With nearby green spaces, walking routes and access to the great outdoors, these developments will continue Evans Homes’ commitment to creating places where wellbeing and community can thrive.

More Than Just Steps

While there were some impressive numbers on the leaderboard, the challenge was about much more than competition. It was an opportunity to focus on health, wellbeing and taking time to enjoy the outdoors, all while bringing colleagues together through a shared goal.

Thank you to everyone who took part in our Walking Month challenge. Whether you hit 10,000 steps every day or simply made a conscious effort to move more, your contribution helped make the month a great success.

Here’s to keeping active and continuing to enjoy the wonderful walking opportunities on our doorstep throughout the year.
