Tom Stannard, Wakefield Council's Corporate Director for Regeneration and Economic Growth, said: "This festive challenge is a fantastic way to motivate people into taking more steps. The Aspire Health app is a simple and easy tool to track your progress and also to find out about other events taking place across the district.

"The Year of Walking challenge is in full swing and what better way to exercise than to do so while hitting the high street and doing your Christmas shopping."

Lucy Grice, Marketing Manager of Trinity Walk, said: "Anything that can encourage people to walk more and shop more can only be a good thing for us and Wakefield, so it makes total sense to join forces on this. And the fact you could win a prize gives people that extra reason to get walking, shopping and rack up those steps on the app."
