Walking is a great way to keep active because almost everyone can do it – no matter your age, income, gender or ability. It is free, and no special equipment is needed so it is an easy and accessible way to build in physical activity as part of your everyday life.
The challenge
Celebrate Fife hosting the AIG Women's Golf Open by walking or wheeling the distance of the Old Course at St Andrews each day.
Don’t worry if you’re not local to St Andrews! You can take part wherever you live or work in Fife, just complete the challenge by walking or wheeling in your local community.
Starting at the Club House you will make your way around the course avoiding the bunkers and passing the Swilcan bridge whilst enjoying the beautiful sea view. Finishing at the 18th hole you will have walked approximately 4.15 miles.
The challenge is to walk or wheel the equivalent distance of the course each day during the month of August.
You can take part as an individual or you can get together with friends, family or work colleague and split the distance between you as a team. The aim is to get out every day!
Sign Up
By taking part in the challenge, you also have the chance of winning some golf-related prizes. They have four pairs of tickets to the AIG Women's Open available to win if you choose to enter the prize draw when you sign up to the challenge. You must register by Wednesday 07 August 2024 to be in for a chance of winning these tickets.
There will be a chance to win more golf related prizes for everyone who completes the challenge and submits their final walking totals.

You might want to set your own daily goal or aim to walk or wheel 1 mile every day. It’s up to you, walk or wheel as little or as much as you like, just keep track of your daily total and see how far you get over the month.
