How it works

Move. Get sponsored. Fund the planet.

Every active calorie you burn becomes a micro-donation for the organisations you pick. No extra effort, just your usual run, ride, swim or walk.

  2. 02

    Move your way

    Run, ride, swim, hike, dance or walk the dog. Every active calorie counts, whatever your level.

  3. 03

    Fund the planet

FAQ

Good to know.

All questions

Which trackers do you support?

uBurn syncs automatically with Strava and Garmin. You can also use the web app.

What if I have a quiet month?

Life happens. You can add a flat monthly donation as a backup so your organisations keep receiving support.
