4. TRACK IMPACT
See the power of collective impact
Our platform adds up every pledge and every kilometre, showing your impact, your club’s effort, and the collective power of pledgends everywhere.

Just like in sport, we’re stronger together, and when we team up for the planet, the results are game-changing.

What these Pledgends are saying...

“The overall experience of attaching an effort with a change in behaviour has engrained the new habits far more than I anticipated.

There is something truly unique about the Pledge for the Planet process that instils a recognition that global change can be achieved on an individual level through our behaviour.”

Eddie Edmonds

Les Gars Cycling Club

“I LOVE the Pledge for the Planet Mission! I honestly look forward to it every year. It’s a great month to get active and get outdoors.

I think the competition for a good cause really brings people together which is always really positive for community building.”

Victoria Maurer

Bondi Salties

“I haven’t bought a plastic milk carton in two years so to start has saved roughly 50 milk cartons going to landfill.

The event is such a fun way to bring the various communities to compete, doing what we love doing in order to spread the message and change behaviour for the better.

FAQs

Who can take part? 

Any sports club, community group, or even your mum’s knitting club. If you’ve got team spirit, you’re in.

How much does it cost?

It’s free! Your pledge is your ticket. Your behaviour is your currency.

What's a pledge?

A sustainable lifestyle swap to reduce your impact -like eating less meat, choosing renewables, or cutting plastic.

Do I have to be super fit?

Not at all! The 48 Hour Mission is for everyone – whether you’re walking your dog, riding with your mates, or training for a marathon. Every kilometre counts.

Can I take part solo?

Yes! If you don’t have a club, you can join as an individual or rally a small group of mates.

What happens if I forget to track an activity?

Don’t stress! Your Team Lead (or a teammate) can manually tag you in an activity on Strava so you don’t miss out on points.

What’s the impact beyond the weekend?

The 48 Hour Mission isn’t just about one big weekend – it’s about sparking lasting change. By starting new sustainable habits alongside your club or crew – the same people you train, sweat, and show up with each week – you’re far more likely to keep them going. When your team becomes your accountability buddies, those small pledges turn into powerful, long-term wins for the planet.

Why sport and climate action?

Because saving the planet is a team sport. Our individual actions have a huge collective impact.

You’ll see that with the individual activities you log over the weekend and the combined points and KMs your team collective accumulates by the end of the mission. 

The same goes for your individual Pledges and their collective impact. And guess what, the planet REALLY needs our help. So get a sweat on and put some of that energy towards restoring our precious mother earth for generations to come.
