Join us for a month of Walking/Running and/or Cycling. Every time you record an activity you get entered into a weekly prize draw to win £20, so the more you do, the more chance you have of winning! e.g. 4 runs would mean 4 entries (to be drawn every Monday)

Students will need to download the Strava app to get involved in the challenges and join our college’s Strava club. You can search these in the clubs tab on the app or click on the links here;

Running & Walking Club - strava.com/clubs/wakiecolrunning

Please note that walking will need to be recorded as a run on Strava for it to count towards your college’s total distance. To do this you will need to select the ‘run’ setting on the app when walking or running.

Cycling Club - https://www.strava.com/clubs/wakiecolcycling

When students and staff complete an activity on the app their distance will contribute to the overall college total which will go into an online leaderboard with other Colleges in the country.

In order to support safeguarding, we are strongly recommending colleges to advise their participants (staff and students) to set up privacy zones on their Strava accounts. These privacy zones restrict the area identified in the zone being seen on Strava Maps. As such an activity that starts/finishes/ within the zone does not appear on Strava Maps.

 The following guide shows how to create a privacy zone. https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000173384
