A virtual challenge from Conqueror Challenges is a route-based exercise challenge that encourages you to complete a certain distance on a virtual map by a certain date. You choose the route, the distance, and what kind of exercise you will do to complete your challenge.
The Conqueror challenges have a completion rate that is 4x higher than any other fitness class or course.
You can choose any challenge that will meet your own personal goals
There are lots of virtual challenges for you to pick from. There are three main categories of challenge: short, medium, and long.
The short challenges are those below 100 miles in length — challenges like Angkor Wat, the Marathon to Athens, the Inca Trail, Mount Everest, and more. These are best suited to a "beginner" level challenger.
The medium challenges are 100-700 miles and include the Ring of Kerry, the Grand Canyon, St Francis Way, and the North Coast.
The longest challenges are those above 700 miles, ranging right up to the Pacific Crest Trail at 2485 miles.
You can choose any activity you want
One of the main reasons that many people don't succeed in typical fitness routines is because the type of exercise needed doesn't suit them. With a virtual challenge, you can pick whatever kind of exercise you want.
Distance-based activities include cycling, running, swimming, rowing, and walking. Non-distance based activities like yoga, crossfit, housework, and more can be converted into equivalent distances.
You can set your own time-frame
You will be presented with options for how long you want to take, ranging from one week to 18 months.
You can work alone or with a team
You can choose whether to work entirely alone or to split the challenge up within a team. If you thrive on healthy competition, working as a group will be great for you.
You can be part of the greater good
For each challenge, when you reach a 20% milestone, Conqueror challenges will plant a tree. For each challenge completed, 5 trees are planted.
You are rewarded at the finish line
For each individual race there is a different and unique medal ready and waiting. The medals reflect the culture, landscape and people of the route they represent.
Pick whatever works best for you right now because picking something achievable is the best way for you to succeed.
