Get Ready to Join Cornwall’s Active Travel Challenge This June!

Cornwall Council has announced the return of the much-anticipated Active Travel Challenge, set to take place throughout the sunny month of June.

This engaging event invites residents and workers across Cornwall to ditch their cars and engage in healthier, more sustainable modes of transport.

What is the Active Travel Challenge?

The Active Travel Challenge is a free, month-long event encouraging individuals to walk, cycle, run, scoot, or even car-share for their daily commutes and other regular journeys. Starting from June 1st until the 30th, participants can log their trips to potentially win a variety of exciting prizes.

Who Can Participate?

Everyone living or working in Cornwall is eligible to join the challenge. It’s an excellent opportunity for organisations and workplaces to foster team spirit by forming groups and motivating each other to achieve set targets. Whether it’s a solo effort or a collective endeavour, every journey counts.

How to Participate?

Registration is currently open with an early bird option available for those eager to jumpstart their participation. Once registered, participants can log each journey via the event’s website, where they can also access their personal profile dashboard under the ‘Me’ dropdown to track progress and claim rewards.

Why Join the Challenge?

Partaking in the Active Travel Challenge not only promotes physical health but also contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing congestion and pollution. Participants can enjoy the added benefits of saving money through reduced fuel costs and public transport fares.

Prizes and Rewards

The challenge isn’t just about competing; it’s also about sharing experiences. Participants can climb the leaderboard by logging multiple journeys and are encouraged to share stories and photos of their travels. Prizes are awarded not just for the most journeys, but also for engaging community stories.

Calling All Workplaces!

Workplaces are encouraged to participate as a team, contributing to their overall journey count and helping to push their organisation towards winning in their size category. Every logged journey helps the team advance, with even a single journey making a significant difference.

Sustainable Travel, Lasting Change

The Cornwall Council is hopeful that this challenge will inspire lasting changes in travel habits among participants, making healthier and more sustainable choices a regular part of daily life. Don’t miss out on this chance to be a part of a larger community effort towards a greener, healthier Cornwall.
