How to take part
Everyone is automatically signed up for the great race. 👍🌈😁 For those who use Strava, simply log every walk, run or cycle*
PLEASE NOTE - Strava only records ONE person's mileage. If you go out as a family (say of four), and only one person uses Strava, you will need to add the rest of the family's miles manually - either via Strava (maybe create a separate account for the children so they can see their progress on the leaderboard!) or the Google form below, or by emailing the PTA address at the bottom of this page.
Strava Instructions
FIRST download the Strava app (from the App store/Google Play) and create an account
THEN search under "Clubs" and Join
St Mike's School Race Across the World Running HQ (for running)

THEN find your house's team under "Clubs" and join your house team

FINALLY get outside in the fresh air and walk, run and cycle your way across the world! Don't forget to press start on the Strava app as you set out and if you walking, make sure you record it as a run rather than a walk or it won't count! (this is just about how Strava collates data)

You are very welcome to run and cycle... So please join both groups if you need to!
If you forget to record a cycle or run, or need to add your family's manually, follow this link for instructions on how to do so.
If you don’t have Strava...
...then don’t worry. We have a simple Google Form on which you can upload your miles. Again - this only counts one person's mileage - so in order to be in the running for one of our prizes, the form needs to be filled out for each family member after a walk/run/cycle.
Or email your miles to ptacontributions@gmail.com and we’ll add them to the collective total.
And if you want extra motivation...
For those who want to get really into the race, we have a Whatsapp group... there will be daily tips, motivation, inspiration and some banter!
Open this link to join and then get moving!
