Spa GAA is delighted to take part in the Irish Life GAA Healthy Clubs Step Challenge 2026, encouraging our members and the wider community to get active, get outside and get moving together over the coming weeks.
As part of the national Ireland Lights Up Initiative, the club will be turning on the floodlights every Tuesday night from 6th January to 11th February, creating a safe and welcoming space for everyone to walk, chat and enjoy a bit of fresh air.
The initiative gets underway on Tuesday 6th January at 7.00pm. To mark the first night which coincides with Nollaig na mBan, there will be tea/coffee and a catch up from 8pm in the clubhouse – a nice chance to warm up, catch up with friends and meet fellow club members.
Everyone Welcome
This initiative is open to everyone – club members, families, friends and neighbours of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re walking on your own, pushing a buggy, bringing the kids or meeting up with friends, it’s all about getting active together in a relaxed and social setting.

Step Challenge – Help Us Hit 4,000km
Between now and 11th February 2026, we’re asking our members and community to help Spa GAA reach a target of 4,000 kilometres walked. By doing so, the club will be entered into a draw with a chance to win up to €2,500 from Irish Life, which would go back into supporting our club and community.
