Galápagos Virtual Challenge

You can log distances using two methods:

1) Manually - Either on the web or via our iPhone and Android apps. Select your exercise type, add a distance and boom, you’re done. You can add a screenshot of your tracker if you wish but it is not required.

2) Automatically – Via the range of apps and devices that we connect with. Currently, we support: Apple Watch & Health, Google Fit, Garmin, Fitbit, Adidas Running, Strava, Runkeeper, Map My Run, Map My Ride, and Map My Walk.

The amount of time it will take you or your team to complete this journey depends on your fitness level, exercise type and team size.

You can set your own time-frame goal from 1 week to 24 months to complete each challenge. This goal can be easily changed at any time if you want to shorten it or extend (within the 24 month limit).

You can start this fitness challenge any time and from any location around the world. Registrations are open now so feel free to sign up and make a start.

We’ve made it as flexible as possible so you can backdate your start date to whatever date you want as long as it’s after the date we launched the challenge.

Yes - You can enter as many challenges as you like and post your distances to each of the challenges.

You can either post all your distances to all of your challenges or you can decide what types of distances go to which challenges. e.g. you might want to send your walking distances to one challenge and your cycling or swimming distances to another challenge. It's completetely up to you.

You can log most types of distance based exercise such as running, walking, cycling, swimming, rowing etc. For other non distance based exercise such as yoga or cross fit, we have a handy conversion chart that converts time doing these activities into distance equivalents that you can use..

Teams are a fun way to take part in The Conqueror Virtual Fitness Challenges.

**Note that each team member is required to purchase their own entry into the challenge. Each team member will receive their own medal at the end**

Basically you share the distance with the other people in your team.

Your team will have their very own team icon on the map.

Each time a team member posts a distance, your team icon will advance along the map.

Your team will also be represented on the leaderboard.

You will also be able to see information about your own personal achievements and rankings separate from the team.

The distance doesn’t have to be divided evenly among team members. You can team up with guru athletes and people just starting out!

So hustle up your friends or workmates and join the fun!

This feature allows you to choose a longer or shorter distance before starting a challenge, without changing the map or its content. Your progress along the route adjusts based on your selection: you can extend the challenge (Headwind) or shorten it (Tailwind). The medal will display the original distance, regardless of whether you use these features.

*This feature is not available for our dual-distance challenges.
