The trust is also hoping that those taking part may take the opportunity to raise funds for its Fife Health and Wellbeing Fund which helps deliver its health and wellbeing programme supporting local people living with long-term health conditions such as cancer, dementia, diabetes and heart incidents with specially-designed physical activity sessions.

Fiona Prendergast, wellbeing and programming manage, said: “We’d love as many people as possible to sign up - it’s a great way to stay active and continue to feel the health and wellbeing benefits of physical activity.
“The challenge can be carried out indoors or outdoors, and, we’re encouraging participants to share their experiences and progress online with others so it’s a great way to engage with people while we can’t attend our usual gym sessions or fitness classes.
