Walking

Bums off Seats is a Fife Walking Initiative. We provide free local health walking opportunities in Fife and all walks are led by a trained team of Volunteer Walk Leaders. A health walk is a free, short, local walk and is suitable for most people, even if you have a long term health condition.

This is a Fife Council funded project with support from Active Fife and Paths for All.

If you have any other queries please contact the project team.

February Walking Challenge 2025

We are pleased to announce our next walking challenge for February. Please find below our Walking Diary and information sheet.

The aim of the walking diary is to get you walking or wheeling every day in February! This is open to everyone. Whether you live, work or study in Fife – we want as many Fifers as possible to take part.

How to take part

Complete the Active Fife registration form.
Take part alone or join a team challenge with friends, family, or colleagues.
Set your own walking / wheeling goal and challenge yourself to increase your distance throughout the month. Go on…. you can do this!
Track your progress using the downloadable walking diary, then share how you got on with Active Fife at the end of the month.

Why to take part

Get out in the fresh air and connect with friends, family and colleagues.
Have fun and improve your fitness at the same time.
Reduce stress and boost your physical, mental and social wellbeing.
Track your progress and celebrate your achievements!

At the end of February, we’ll send out a feedback form to gather total steps/miles. The diary includes space to track progress for eight weeks, so people can feel free to continue logging their steps into March if they would like.
