Barnet Twin Towns Challenge

On Monday we set off on our exciting voyage to visit Barnet’s 8 twin towns. Our first stop on this mammoth journey is to Montclair, a town in the state of New Jersey, located on the East Coast of America.

Whether it’s cycling with the kids, clocking up your 10,000 daily steps or simply waking together as a family, we want everyone to join us in helping cover the 25,000 kilometre journey.

There are various resources available to download from our website to help promote the challenge across your school community, please click here to access the following;

- Schools information document and FAQ document which will hopefully explain the challenge and answer any questions.
