After much training and preparation our amazing Cycling team will be starting their epic 5-day bike ride from Stockton to Southampton. With the honour of sounding the starting horn, the Mayor of the Tees Valley, the Rt Hon. Ben Houchen will be joining the team at the starting line at Stockton.
With other VIPs joining the team along the way we’re hoping to get some fantastic social media coverage so please do share our social posts throughout the week! We will be sharing a blog each day so check out the website HERE for all the latest news from the team. So far, the team have raised an incredible £4,171 for our partnering charity Sense. You can support them too by donating to Sense via our JustGiving link HERE. Thank you.
Are you participating in our first Cemex Wellness Week? Together let’s see if we can match or beat the cycling team’s total equivalent mileage!
You can take part as an individual or as a team and convert your physical activities into steps. We will be sharing the leaderboard each day on the webpage, including a running total of our steps/mileage equivalent.
Registration is still open so click HERE ASAP to register yourself as an individual or Captains register your teams!
How to convert your activities into steps and log them
For those of you taking part, if you’re walking or running there are lots of apps you can download to monitor your step count. For other activities we have made a conversion tool – click HERE to download it. For example, a 30 minute spin class is the equivalent of 6,000 steps. We’ve also made a quick guide about how to convert your activities into steps – and then to log them – you can download it HERE. We have a long list of different activities but if yours isn’t on the list we suggest Googling a conversion.
Once you have made your conversion, share your total step count with your Team Captain who will then need to log their team’s daily total step count by 10am the following morning. Captains, please click HERE to log the steps. Please log the weekend steps by 10am on Monday 23rd September.
