Participants of all ages can help showcase the best of Leeds by coming up with their own creative ideas for activities, events or challenges all themed around the number 400. Examples could include anything from walking, running, cycling, baking, volunteering, dancing or painting, but no idea is too big or too small. Anyone completing a What’s Your 400? is then asked to share their efforts on social media using #WhatsYour400 and download their own certificate from the Leeds 400 website to celebrate their accomplishment.
