A ROLL and stroll challenge is encouraging Warwickshire residents to walk, wheel and cycle this May.
Led by Warwickshire County Council and Love to Ride, the challenge celebrates all forms of active travel.
Residents can take part by walking, wheeling or cycling anywhere, at any time. Every trip counts, whether it is for the school run, commuting to work or for health and wellbeing purposes, with the focus on being active and moving each day in ways that work for each individual.
By logging their trips and getting active daily, no matter the distance travelled, residents can win prizes such as a £4,000 holiday of their choice, or one of the bonus prizes offered for each mile that they move. There is also a £100 running shoe voucher up for grabs just for Warwickshire residents.
There are lots of benefits to moving more, including improved mental and physical wellbeing and saving money on fuel. Roll and Stroll is all about celebrating these benefits and helping residents to build small and sustainable habits that last a lifetime.
WCC’s communities spokesperson Mark Ryder said: “We are delighted to bring the Roll and Stroll month challenge to Warwickshire this May. Active travel is a cornerstone of our commitment to creating healthier, happier, and better-connected communities.
“Whether you are walking to the shops, wheeling through your local park, or cycling to work or school, every journey logged is a step towards improving your own physical and mental wellbeing.
“This fantastic partnership with Love to Ride makes building sustainable habits fun, free, and incredibly rewarding. I wholeheartedly encourage all our residents, schools, and workplaces to sign up, get moving, and enjoy the many benefits of active travel.”
