More than 31,000 children at 350 Busy Bees nurseries across the UK have taken part in the Big Trike Ride.
The youngsters were challenged to collectively trike, bike, or scoot 874 miles – the distance from Land’s End to John O’Groats.
The initiative was organised by Busy Bees, the UK’s largest provider of early years childcare which has two nurseries in Basingstoke, and backed by Team GB Olympian Sir Jason Kenny, in a bid to raise funds for BBC Children in Need.
Sir Jason said: "It's an honour to kick-start this mass cycling event.

"Encouraging young children to get involved in physical activities is something I’m passionate about, and it’s even better that it’s supporting such a worthy cause."
The Big Trike Ride is part of Busy Bees’ new partnership with BBC Children in Need, which aims to help every child in the UK thrive.
Chris McCandless, CEO of Busy Bees Europe, said: "We chose to take on this physical challenge to raise much-needed funds while encouraging children across our centres to get active, which plays an important part in their development and wellbeing."
