Due to the current unknown landscape of COVID-19 in Tasmania, we had to make the hard decision to change things up for this year as the safety of our participants, supporters, volunteers, staff and the communities we visit during PolliePedal had to come first and foremost.
So now we bring you PolliePedal Shifting Gears!
A virtual event that you, your friends, family or colleagues can participate from wherever you are in Tasmania or the world in a COVID Safe way and still support Diabetes Tasmania to continue providing services, programs and advice to all Tasmanians living with all types of diabetes.
And now for the bonuses:
There is a WHOLE month to participate (not just 3 days) 25 February until the 25 March - and YOU (or your team) set your target to reach - it might be the 302.3km that would have been PolliePedal.
You dont have to cycle! You can run, walk, swim, take a spin class (or 30) even ride your horse. Just get out and get active.
Registration is only $50 per person or $200 per team (family, friends or colleagues can get together) Registrants will receive their own numbered bib and an invitation to an end of event picnic! Follow this link to register: REGISTER ME
On top of your registration, there is no minimum or maximum to fundraise once you have paid your registration fee. All we ask is that as an individual or team you sign up here via Just Giving and send your unique fundraising page out and do your best!

MOST of all you will achieve a great goal getting active, keeping active and hopefully meeting some friends along the way plus theres that feel good feeling of supporting a local charity and all Tasmanians living with all types of diabetes.
