We are excited to announce the return of two highly popular initiatives for 2025, Ireland Lights Up and Irish Life’s Every Step Counts Challenge on their MyLife app. 

Both initiatives aim to inspire people across Ireland to stay active, improve their wellbeing, and come together on the dark winter evenings, and have grown to be amongst the largest community physical activity initiatives on the island.

Ireland Lights Up will commence on the week of January 6th , 2025, and will run for 6 weeks.  Participants will have access to the walking track, which will be lit up for walkers, joggers, and families alike.

Running at the same time will be the hugely popular Irish Life Every Step Counts Challenge, hosted on their MyLife app. This offers participants the chance to win a share of €30,000 in club funding that Irish Life has made available for the ‘Every Step Counts Challenge’ donation fund. 

Everyone who downloads Irish Life’s MyLife app will also get rewarded for being active!

GAA President, Jarlath Burns, said: "We’re thrilled to see the return of the very popular Ireland Lights Up and the Irish Life Steps Challenge in 2025. The popularity of these initiatives speak for themselves, and I know how valued they are by our clubs and the communities they serve all over Ireland.”
