The Minds in Action Challenge - a friendly team-based - walk, run, cycle and swim - virtual challenge taking place on the GoJoe app between 23 July (5am BST) to 6 August (5pm BST) 2021. Join one of the x5 teams and get moving. KMs mean points (weighted by activity type to level the playing field). Whichever team gets the most-points, wins. It's free to take part and open to all.

The teams consist of:- Rutland Cycling, CPSL Mind, BLMK Mind, Northamptonshire Mind, Nottinghamshire Mind

Exercise on your own, but not alone. Use this challenge to take time to enjoy a bit of community/team spirit, to invest in your physical and mental wellbeing and to move with purpose and raise money/awareness for us.

Each team has a 'person of interest' as captain. The challenge host and captain of Rutland Cycling is Dani Rowe MBE - a three times cycling world champion and 2012 Olympic Gold Medallist. As well as taking part in the challenge, Dani and the other captains will be sharing their top tips and rallying all participants.

GoJoe is about km-based activities (walking, running, cycling and swimming), not steps. This is to encourage movement in the form of an actual walk or run, rather than tracking boring steps from the sofa to the fridge. It also means that you don't need a step counter and that walkers can have a bit of friendly competition against the other activity types. Every km counts. It doesn't matter whether you're a dog walker or serious athlete - it's all about the team. Details of how to sign up and get involved are below. Check the app to see live standings.
