How to log a journey

Logging a Journey is easy

1 Click the Log a Journey Button located at the top right of the Challenge website.

2 Log your Journey, clicking on the boxes to select how you travelled and the purpose of your journey.
Depending on the purpose of your journey, we'd also like to know if you changed how you travelled.

You can adjust the date to enter journeys you made on previous days.

Enter the journey distance, and whether your trip included any other significant sections. A return journey box is also included to save you time logging.

That's it. Don't forget to click on the Me button, next to Log a journey, to view your personal and workplace profile, the rewards you have earned, and invite a friend. Have fun!

Link your Strava account

1 Once you have logged in, click the Me button located at the top right of the Challenge website.

2 Click Personal Profile to access your personal dashboard page. You will see near the top of this page a link to your Strava account. It looks like this.

3. Click the Strava link button and follow the prompts to link your account. Simple!

Once your account is linked your Strava journeys will automatically load up.

Any exercise classes on a machine or gym sessions won't register this time as the Big Bristol Travel Challenge is all about getting out there and making more active local journeys.

All your walking, running, wheeling or paddling journeys will be included, so it's time to get moving.

How we rank journeys

We rank workplaces according to the overall amount of participation: The more people at work getting involved, the further up the leader board your workplace will climb.

If you are already travelling to work actively or on public transport, or exercising during your staying at home working day, we salute you. But we need you to encourage your colleagues to join in too. This is how you will win as a workplace.

We rank the individual leader board by the number of journeys /counts of exercise you complete rather than by the distance you've travelled, or the way you got there, although some individual prizes will be specific to one particular way of travelling.

Every journey counts, so make sure to log journeys regularly. We'll be giving out spot prizes along the way just for taking part, so if you just log one journey you have a chance of winning some great weekly prizes - even if you're not at the top of the leader board!
