Forvis Mazars launch 2025 Steps Team Challenge
Forvis Mazars is delighted to announce the launch of its 2025 Steps Team Challenge, a free four-week initiative designed to promote physical activity, foster team collaboration and support two vital Irish charities: Focus Ireland and Jigsaw. This exciting challenge kicks off on Monday, 20 January and runs until Sunday, 16 February 2025.
What is the Steps Team Challenge?
The Steps Team Challenge invites individuals, companies, clubs and organisations across Ireland to get moving, connect with their teams and make a difference in their communities.
Participants can choose from two virtual routes around Ireland:
- The four-province route: Walk through all four provinces of Ireland with a daily step goal of approximately 10,000 steps.
- The 32-county route: For a more ambitious challenge, journey across all 32 counties with a daily goal of 16,000 steps.
This inclusive event is designed for all fitness levels, ensuring everyone can participate and feel part of the journey. Our user-friendly app makes tracking progress easy, syncing with phones or fitness devices to display team standings and virtual leaderboards.

There are over €20,000 worth of prizes to be won to help keep everyone motivated. Weekly giveaways and end-of-challenge prizes include:
- Luxury overnight stays for two at InterContinental Dublin with dinner

Hear from our ambassadors
At the launch of the 2025 Challenge, five-time Olympic walker Rob Heffernan and Forvis Mazars Steps Team Challenge ambassador encouraged organisations to join the movement: “The Forvis Mazars Steps Team Challenge is open to everyone. Companies, clubs and societies can create leagues within the challenge. It’s a wonderful opportunity to boost company culture, strengthen team bonds and empower employees to kick off 2025 on the right foot.”
Forvis Mazars Managing Partner Tom O’Brien comments, “It is a unique event that brings people closer together. We are very ambitious to grow the annual challenge to reach as many people as possible across the country. Best of luck to everyone taking part in 2025!”
Supporting two great charities
With the Steps Team Challenge, our focus extends beyond personal achievements. This year we are proudly highlighting two extraordinary charities, Jigsaw and Focus Ireland.
Throughout the challenge, we aim to raise awareness of mental health and the homeless crisis around the country as well as help raise vital funds for the important work these charities carry out. Forvis Mazars will donate for each participant who takes part in the challenge.
