The Challenge
if you dare!
Ready to shake up how you travel? Join the Active Commute Month Challenge this May! Walk, roll, cycle, bus, or carpool your way around Whitehorse instead of driving solo. Every trip earns you points, whether you’re commuting, running errands, or heading out for fun. Build healthy habits, save money, and help the planet along the way.
Active Commute Month 2026 is a wrap!
Thank you to everyone who participated in the challenge and stayed active throughout May. Whether you walked, biked, rolled, carpooled, or used public transit, your efforts made Whitehorse a healthier and more connected community.
Let’s keep the momentum rolling—drive less, move more! We can’t wait to see you for Active Commute Month 2027!
Please fill out our brief post-challenge survey. Your feedback will enhance next year’s challenge and improve the participant experience. Survey closes July 3, 2026.
