2026 Bike Month Challenge

Dust off your bikes and get ready!

From June 1 to 30, this city-wide event is a fun way for Leagues to promote active transportation and recreation through friendly competition. To get the wheels turning, come and join us at the Community League Plaza at the Hawrelak Park on Saturday, May 30, for the re-opening celebration to kick things off!

Last year, 30 Leagues rode nearly 144,000 km- roughly four times distance around the globe! In 2026, we’re looking to blow that record off the roads and trails by bringing in more team members and exploring all parts of the city. Who’s ready to go further?

Leagues will compete for prizes, courtesy of United Sport & Cycle, and a prize basket, in three distinct categories:

1. Total Participants: Get as many neighbours riding as possible!
2. Total Team Kilometers: Track those long-distance treks.
3. Scavenger Hunt: Visit specific locations on the list!

Ready to Register? To get your League in the fast lane, follow these steps:

1. Review the Toolkit for full challenge details.
2. Appoint a Data Collector: Your League will need a designated person to report weekly totals to the EFCL.
3. Sign Up: Email greenleagues@efcl.org to register your League and your Data Collector.

We can’t wait to see which Leagues will lead the pack this June. Grab your helmets, rally your neighbors, and let’s show the city how far we can go together!

Distance Reporting

Each League needs one designated data collector and reporter for the challenge. Individual riders should not add their mileage. Instead, be in touch with your League (or better yet, make sure to join your League’s Strava club).

If you’re here to report on your League’s weekly distances, fill out the form on the right.

If you’re here to find out how to become your League’s designated data reporter, email Erin greenleagues@efcl.org.

Remember: Strava zeroes distance weekly on Sunday evenings at midnight local time. You will need to have a look at your League club’s distance later on Sunday evening to capture your weekly total.

To get your League in the fast lane, follow these steps:

Your League can join at any time. Download our toolkit on setting up a Strava club, which is the quickest and easiest way to track distances. We’ve also created social media posts and mileage update posts for your League to adapt to reduce the amount of work this takes.

We’ve selected 60 locations around the city, ranging from Community League amenities to City of Edmonton landmarks, neighbourhood gems to some incredible local businesses who’ve promised to reward our intrepid hunters. And all you have to do to take part is ride your bike and have a Community League membership.
