FAQs

Good questions

Who can register a team?add

Any sports club, movement crew, community group or group of mates can register. If you’ve got team spirit, you’re in.

How much does it cost?add

Nothing. The 48 Hour Mission is free to join. Your pledge is your entry ticket and your behaviour is your currency.

What does the Team Lead need to do?add

Your Team Lead registers the club, shares the Mission with members and helps bring the team together. We provide ready-to-use communications, social assets, instructions, activity ideas and reminders to make it easy.

How many people do we need?add

You don’t need a huge club to take part. Small teams and groups of mates are welcome alongside larger communities.

Do I have to be super fit?add

Not at all. You can walk the dog, ride with friends, swim a few laps or run a marathon. The Mission is for every pace and ability, and every kilometre counts.

Do we all need to be in the same location?add

No. Members can participate wherever they are. Your club can also organise its own group activities during the weekend.

Do I need Strava?add

Strava is the easiest way to track your activity during the Mission. If you don’t use it, your Team Lead can help make sure your activity is recorded.

What is a pledge?add

A pledge is a practical planet-friendly action, like eating more plant-based meals, avoiding takeaway cups, choosing renewable energy or travelling under your own steam. Participants choose from 50+ pledges and put their action into practice for 21 days.

Can I participate without a club?add

Yes. You can join an existing team, create a team with your mates or take part as an individual.

How is environmental impact calculated?add

Each pledge is connected to an estimated environmental impact, such as greenhouse-gas emissions or waste avoided. Our platform combines these estimates to show the potential impact of individual, team and Mission-wide action.
