About the Challenge
This is your online tool to get motivated and challenge yourself to walk, cycle or take public transport for more of your everyday journeys from 1 to 31 October.
Leave your car at home and get more active. You will collect badges and rewards along the way. We've prizes to give away too for your efforts!
What is the Challenge?
Don't forget SusCom and SevernNet members can join in too!
You can log any journey whether it's your regular commute, trip to the shops or leisure activity, the school run, or business trip. If you are working from home you can also record your walking or cycling activities! All these journeys can be logged and we will be encouraging you every step of the way.
The Challenge is free to join, and simple to take part in. Compete as an individual or join your workplace and set up a team. Take part with your colleagues and friends, set targets and encourage each other along the way.
We will send you a weekly e-newsletter with news and some great tips as well as giving out prizes along the way. Don't forget to claim your rewards too for some great discounts!
Why take part?
We've got some great prizes to give away this year, and you can track all your progress on your own personal dashboard. Access some great rewards and interact with friends and colleagues all over Bristol.
Cycling, scooting, running and walking on your commute and for local trips are brilliant ways of incorporating exercise into your day; whilst public transport and lift sharing, are great ways to reduce congestion and can save you money. All this helps you get fitter, feel good, and embed some new habits to keep Bristol's air clean in preparation for Bristol's Clean Air Zone starting on Monday 28 November 2022.
Which journeys count?
Trips to the shops, to a leisure activity, taking the kids to school, or to do a walk, jog, run, or cycle 'loop' at lunchtime to keep active also count.
Log your activity daily to help your team or workplace climb the leaderboard!
How do I win?
The winning workplace in each size category will be the one that has the highest level of participation.
Get your colleagues involved and encourage them to leave the car at home and get active to get to work, or to get exercise during the working day.
Logging just one journey is enough to be included as a participant, helping your team to climb the leaderboard. Hopefully, you will be encouraged to get out and give it another try.
Individuals
Remember that to climb the leaderboard you must make and log lots of journeys rather than a small number of long journeys. We want you to make regular changes to your commuting and business journeys.
We will be celebrating your success with weekly-themed prizes along the way, as well as drawing a prize from each of the leaderboard top 10s in a grand prize draw at the end of the Challenge. See the Prizes page for details.
