In many rural areas across the globe children are denied access to basic needs due to the barrier of distance. World Bicycle Relief’s mission is to provide sustainable, appropriate bicycles to mobilise and empower individuals and communities so they can travel to schools, clinics and markets.

Story

For most of us, having extra time in our day is simply something to enjoy, but for 17-year-old Scholastica who now has two extra hours each day thanks for her Buffalo Bike, it means more time to study, help at home, and pursue her dreams.

You have 16 hours and 38 minutes of sunlight to take part in your own challenge.

It's your choice what you do.

For the early birds - you could wake up early and catch the sunrise. Go for a jog, do yoga or take the dog for a walk whilst taking in the beauty of the sun.

For the extreme, you could start a long distance bike ride at sunrise, finishing at sunset.

Can you take a no shadow selfie?

Not quite up for all that? Why not treat yourself to 16:38 minute run, cycle or walk during sunset?

Remember to post your pictures on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram using #RacetheSunUK to feature on our website and socials.
