About the Challenge
What is it?
The Training Challenge runs during 2015.
The aim of the Challenge is to get as many people as possible commuting to work (and back) and any journeys for work by walking, cycling, using public transport and car-sharing.
It's great fun and we'll be giving out loads of prizes along the way!
You can compete on your own or as part of a workplace team. All you have to do is register and then start logging your journeys to get on the leaderboard.
Which journeys count?
The aim of the Challenge is to reduce the number of journeys by petrol or diesel car on your own. So any journeys to work (and back) or any journeys for work on foot, by bike, by public transport or car-sharing count.
The only thing that doesn't count is travelling in a car on your own (and taxis don't count as car-sharing either!)
The more journeys you do the higher up the leaderboard you'll get.
Have fun and enjoy the Challenge!
How do I win?
The winning workplace team in each size category will be the workplace that achieves the highest level of participation.
This means that you need to get your colleagues involved and encourage them to have at least one go at travelling by a different, more sustainable mode of transport rather than just reaching for the car keys and driving (alone).
They just have to try one journey and log it to be included as a participant and to get your teams participation percentage up. We hope that they will enjoy it and try it again...and again...and again.
To get to the top of the individual leaderboard you have to log more journeys than anyone else. We'll be giving out a prize to the individual leader at the end of the Challenge but we'll also be giving out lots of prizes along the way. To be eligible for these prizes you need to log at least 1 journey a week.
Above all else we hope you enjoy the Challenge!
