Sustrans Big Pedal, the UK’s largest inter-school cycling, walking, wheeling and scooting challenge is back for 2021. This year it takes place from 19 to 30 April.
Big Pedal 2021 will take place from 19 to 30 April.
Sustrans Big Pedal will go ahead even if schools are closed.
We don’t know exactly what 2021 will bring in terms of coronavirus lockdown restrictions.
So we’ve taken a more flexible approach to the Sustrans Big Pedal 2021 competition.
We have designed our fun and interactive school resources to be suitable for situations where pupils are learning remotely.
And, active journeys taken from home or physical activity completed at home will count as one journey in the challenge for pupils learning remotely.
New year, new theme
Big Pedal has now been running for 11 years.
It has inspired hundreds of thousands of pupils, staff and parents to take active journeys to school.
This year we'll encourage pupils to see their local area from a new perspective.
We'll support them to learn about the benefits of active travel and discover amazing journeys to school from around the world.
This year's theme will see pupils discovering amazing journeys to school from around the world.
