Car-Free Challenge

  1. You sign up to take the Challenge!
  2. You pick a mileage goal that's right for you.  No matter what your goal is, big or small, it all adds up collectively.  You also get two freebie days and if you carpool, you only count half the miles you travel in a car. Get ideas of what others are doing to help you pick a goal.
  3. You ask friends and family to support you in reaching your goal.  We've got tips and templates to make it easy!
  4. You track your adventures via your Challenge page. Check out how others are sharing the highs and lows in reaching their goal with stories, pictures, and videos.
  5. You compete for great prizes.  Prize categories include: "most entertaining posting", "most extreme story of avoiding driving a car", "most inspirational posting", "most supporters", and more.
  6. You share your results with us at the end of June so we can add up how many miles Challengers cut out of their lives.
  7. You celebrate with other Challengers at one of several post-Challenge parties hosted by Sports Basement around the Bay Area.
  8. We send an important message to our leaders that a critical mass of people want to drive less and live more - which is why we need better options for walking, biking, and taking transit.
