Step-a-thon is a national campaign for primary school children to help teach them the importance of making every step count.

Obesity is on the rise in Australia and Step-a-thon aims to teach kids the value of making every step count, by encouraging them to keep active and supporting the research that keeps kids everywhere healthy and active.
