5km is the perfect distance for a walk, bike ride or a run. Leave the car at home and the goals are yours for the taking.
What difference does it make?
5km in an average car emits about 1kg of CO2. Replace that with leg power and build up your stamina.
This activity lowers your carbon footprint by:
0.2 KG CO₂

Step by step
Choose a 5 kilometre (3 miles) route using a map or a route planner. Ideally start from home so you don't have to drive.
Get out in the fresh air as a family and enjoy! Remember to pack water and some fruit for an energy boost.
Don't forget to take a picture while you're on your adventure! You'll need it to score your goals.
Need Help?
If walking gets boring for your team, take a ball with you and practise keepy-uppies or catch (when you are NOT near a road!).
Take a tree book or tree spotting app with you and see what trees you can identify on the way.
Yes, definitely. Try Snap a Bug, for example. Or collecting things for The Beautiful Game.
