Take part in the challenge!

Roll & Stroll is a fun, free and friendly active travel challenge that is open to people of all levels. Whether you’re keen to set yourself a new goal or you’re an avid active commuter, everyone is invited!

However you roll, stroll, or ride, it counts. Walking, wheeling, or biking trips for transport or health all count. What matters most is being active and moving daily, in ways that work for you.

Roll & Stroll is taking place between 1st May and 31st May, so there’s plenty of time to get involved and feel the benefits of being more active.

Log your trips! Use the Love to Ride app, sync from Strava, or log trips via the Love to Ride website. Click here to find out how to log your trips.

Every time you walk, wheel, ride or encourage others to take part, you earn the chance to win prizes!

The more trips you log in May, the more chances you have to win the holiday of your dreams with £4,000 cash! Other prizes include the £500 early bird prize, by signing up before 30th April, and encourager prize draws, where you can win cash by encouraging others to take part. Click here for more.

Sound good? Don’t waste any more time and click the button below to sign up and take part!

If you’re struggling to find opportunities to get moving, check out our timetable below which includes a range of activities taking place across Blackburn and Darwen throughout May. Delivered by the BwD Health & Wellbeing Team and other physical activity providers, there’s plenty for you to get stuck into and be active!
