Taking part

 

There are 3 ways that your church can take part:

  1. Riders and Striders from the congregation can raise money through seeking sponsorship and participating on the day. They can arrange to travel on foot (or crutches), by cycle, or wheelchair for those who are disabled. It can be a fun day out for a family or group or just for an individual
  2. Open your church for people from other churches to visit.
  3. Put up a welcome sign outside or in the porch for people to sign.

The last two options enable your church to help Riders and Striders from other churches to raise money. But there are other things that you can do;

If there is a church near you that has a Rider/Strider, why not ask if you can also sponsor him or her? Your church could then receive an agreed equivalent percentage of the returned money.

Sponsor stewards who man your church on Ride and Stride Day on an exercise Bike.

For those who are Riding and Striding, you are free to choose your own route and to visit as many of the churches in your area as you wish (click here for List of Participating Churches), between 10 am and 6 pm. You may be amazed at the variety of churches you may find in quite a small area. The money you raise from your sponsors will be divided between this Trust and the church or churches of your choice.
