Stay active with Sustrans in London

What's this week's challenge?

Usually, we run a weekly challenge but with the holidays starting we wanted to do something extra fun.

This summer holidays, why not explore London’s many parks and green spaces in your local area and beyond?

Gather your family and friends, and head out on an adventure.

16 July to 2 September 2020

Visit as many parks and green spaces as you can that meet the criteria on the bingo board pictured below.

The rules

• You must travel there using active transport (walking, cycling, scooting or wheeling).
• Parks cannot be repeated.
• Take photos of you in each park as proof and make a collage of all the photos (see our example pictured below).
• Share with us using #SustransActiveLondon.

What's the challenge?

Stay active with Sustrans is a weekly challenge to help you all keep busy during the lockdown.

Submit your photos or videos based on the week's theme or challenge. And you could be in with a chance of winning a brand new bike or scooter.

This is your time to shine. Get creative, be active at home, and use your phone or camera to document these fun moments. 

Who can take part?

If you're a family living in London, this challenge is for you. 

How does it work?

Every Wednesday, check our Sustrans Facebook and Sustrans London Twitter to find out what the challenge is this week.

We'll also announce the challenge in the box at the top of this page.

You have seven days to get creative and show what you've been doing for the week's challenge in your video or photo.

The more creative, the better. We're looking for the best fun and inventive ways you've stayed active during the lockdown.

And each week we'll share tips on how to stand out.

Photos should ideally be in landscape or square format, but this is not an essential criterion for entry.

The competition is rolling week by week, and we'll announce the end date as soon as we can.

You'll find a full list of terms and conditions at the bottom of this page.

I'm in. How do I submit my family's photo or video?

Upload your photos and videos on Twitter, tag @sustransLondon and use #SustransActiveLondon.

And if you prefer Facebook, just tag @sustrans and use #SustransActiveLondon.

You can also submit your entries via email to bikeitpluslondon@sustrans.org.uk.

Entrants must have the consent of a parent or guardian over the age of 18 to enter. Entries must be uploaded by a representative adult over the age of 18.

Your video or photo does not need to include your name or other personal information.

Take a look at the Net Aware website for guidance on how to stay safe when sharing videos and photos online.

How will I find out if I've won?

If you're one of our lucky winners, you'll be contacted directly via the platform you uploaded your entry to.

This is a weekly challenge so there'll be plenty of chances to take part and win a new bike or scooter.

Update on prizes

Due to the rising demand for bikes and scooters during the coronavirus lockdown, most bike shops are currently sold out of bikes.

This means there will be a delay in you receiving your prize. As soon as more bikes are in stock, we will be able to send your prize.

Stay safe

Since the recent government restrictions, many of us are spending more time at home so staying physically and mentally active is more important than ever.

At Sustrans, we have been busy adapting and sharing activities and resources with schools to keep families active.

We look forward to seeing how you are being creative and staying active with Sustrans.
