October is ideal for walking – the temperatures are mild and the evenings are getting longer.

Find a place to walk. We've short listed some of the best walks.

Join a walking event: with a walking club or a local council or health body.

Billion Steps Challenge
On your marks, get set, go!
Join South Australia’s 2022 Billion Steps Challenge and help us reach our goal of 1,000,000,000 steps!
Wellbeing SA, in partnership with 10,000 Steps, is excited to bring South Australians together to reach one billion steps. We know that every step counts and the more we move, the more health and wellbeing benefits we reap. Last year we achieved one billion steps in 65 days. Can we reach our goal quicker this year?
The challenge starts on 1 October 2022 and ends when we reach our goal of one billion steps. All South Australians who sign up to the 10,000 Steps program and log steps, or other forms of physical activity will have their steps automatically added to South Australia’s total.
How to get involved?
It’s simple, easy and free!
- Sign up or login to be a 10,000 Steps member – make sure the state in your profile is South Australia
- Track and log your steps and minutes of physical activity
- Spread the word with your family, friends and workmates!
