Step up to the challenge

Challenge All of Great Britain

On Thursday 9 April, hundreds of you bought the mountains into your homes. We teamed up with Olympic athlete, Iwan Thomas and over 50 outdoor brands to set a new record for the most people stepping at once.

Whether you climbed a small hill on a doorstep or hit the summit of Snowdon on your staircase, every step counted. We were astounded by how many of you took part!

Lockdown may have changed the way we spend time outdoors, but this just shows that together we can achieve amazing things from home.

Keep stepping!

  1. Upload a video of yourself doing as many steps as you can
  2. Tag @ordnancesurvey with the number of steps you've done using #GetOutsideInside.
  3. Add your steps below to see how far you've climbed

Enter number of steps you have climbed, and we'll tell you what challenges you have achieved!

Reach the top of the Shard in 1,800 steps, or aim for the ultimate and scale Everest in 52,047 steps!

Need some Step Up inspiration?

Make sure you take your time and adjust the challenge to suit your fitness levels and needs. It's not about who can do the most, it's about being safe and having fun whilst doing it.
