Established in 2011, the Tour de Office event aims to raise awareness about the health risks office workers face by sitting for prolonged periods of time. Research shows that sitting for over 4 hours per day greatly increases your risk of chronic disease no matter how much exercise you do. During the week-long event, organisations across Australia host a bike within their workplace and staff ride 30 minute legs to raise awareness about this real health risk facing office-bound workers. Tour de Office also offers participating organisations a chance to raise funds for a charity of their choice through peer-to-peer fundraising.
