Big Walk and Wheel 2026

From 16-27 March, the UK’s biggest walking, wheeling, scooting, and cycling to school challenge returns. 

Delivered by Walk Wheel Cycle Trust in partnership with headline sponsor Schwalbe, the event is completely free for all UK schools.

Each day, schools compete to record the highest proportion of active journey, and there are daily prizes!

It’s a fun way to boost health and wellbeing for everyone!

Regular physical activity promotes good physical and mental health. Walking, wheeling, scooting or cycling is a great way for children to build physical activity into their daily routine. It helps children arrive more relaxed and alert, ready to start the day. It also helps reduce traffic congestion and improves air quality around the school.

Last year was a brilliant year, watch the 2025 highlights video:
