We’re walking 1,600 miles our Amaro Steps Challenge

We LOVE a challenge here at Amaro but, this week, we kicked off our most ambitious one yet…

As of Tuesday the ‘Amaro Steps Challenge’ is now live, with 8 teams of 4 going head-to-head, covering 1,600 miles and an incredible 3.7 million steps in a virtual race from Glasgow (home of our very own John Waugh) to Rome!

𝗪𝗵𝘆? It’s not rocket science

To us, there’s nothing more important than the health, safety, and wellbeing of our team. And whilst training, equipment, and support play a big part, regular exercise has a dramatic impact on people’s quality of life…

– Strengthening your immune systems
– Cutting the chance of cardiovascular disease
– Boosting your energy levels
– Reducing stress and promoting relaxation
– Leading to fewer accidents at work
– Promoting weight loss

… and so much more!

The scene is illuminated by ambient lighting and shows railway tracks stretching into the distance, leading towards a well-lit station. The worker, equipped with a helmet and a bag, appears to be engaged in track inspection or maintenance duties.
