RoadPeace Challenge week begins today

The RoadPeace Challenge 2024, a week of action which runs 13-19 May, is about to get underway. The event will see emergency services, local authorities, schools, businesses, and communities involved in a series of activities aimed at raising awareness about road harm and honouring road crash victims.

Participants will run, cycle, walk, or horse ride a collective 1,766 miles to commemorate the 1,766 people reported killed on UK roads in 2022. To help supporters make the most of the week of action, RoadPeace has released a comprehensive step-by-step guide which can be found on its website.

The guide includes:

• Instructions on how to log mileage during the week of action

• Effective ways to promote activities on social media and through public relations

• Details of how to attend the RoadPeace Challenge 2024 finale event on May 19, at the National Memorial Arboretum, in Staffordshire.

Participants from across the UK will be attending the event to walk the final mile of the challenge together and bring the event to a close.
