Schools across the UK are gearing up for the Big Walk and Wheel challenge this March which is the biggest event on the school-run in the country. More than 1,800 schools have already signed up for the free challenge which is open to all schools and and takes place from Monday 16 – Friday 27 March 2026.

Now in its 17th year, the annual event will see schools across the UK compete to make the most journeys by walking, wheeling, scooting or cycling to school. There will be prizes on offer for small and large primary schools, and secondary schools, who log their pupils’ active journeys to school.
