Active Swindon Challenge 

Walk, cycle, car share or use public transport to win prizes this summer. Sarah Williams finds out more - WATCH VIDEO

 

This summer people in Swindon are being encouraged to take part in the Active Swindon Challenge.

 

The idea is simple – instead of driving alone you will walk, cycle, use public transport or car share for as many journeys as possible.

 

Log your trips on the website to earn points for every trip made on a sustinable transport mode. As your points total builds so does your chance of claiming a prize!

 

Taking part

 

You can choose to take part as an individual participant and you also can compete as part of a group, such as a workplace, team, family or friends.

 

So who better to find out more than Personal Trainer & Zumba Coach Sarah Williams.

 

 

Once you have logged your first journey you are entitled to recieve your free Active Swindon Challenge water bottle! And then remember to keep logging trips to work your way to more prizes.

 

Why take part?

 

Why not?! It's a chance to discover how easy, fun and stress-free it can be to leave your car behind and use an alternative, sustainable transportation option — such as walking, biking, taking public transport or riding in a carpool to get to work!

 

Choose an alternative commute solution just one day a week and you could:

- Save money on transport

- Enjoy a less stressful commute

- Help reduce Swindon Cycle’s carbon footprint

- Help reduce congestion

- Help improve air quality

- Boost your fitness level
