International Virtual Run/Walk Challenge
For the 3rd Virtual Event the team here at Event Promotions decided to celebrate some of the most famous walks around the world by creating an International Virtual Run/Walk Challenge. Take your pick from three different distances as we celebrate these iconic walks that provide such amazing experiences for so many people each year.
Challenge runs from 4th – 19th July
Inca Trail (42km)
This walk along the Inca Trail is the most famous in South America – and one of the top 5 in the world. It combines mountain scenery, lush cloud-forest, subtropical jungle and Inca paving stones, ruins and tunnels. The final destination is the famous Machu Picchu – the mysterious ‘Lost City of the Incas’.
Challenge:
To run and/or walk the distance of the Inca Trail (42km) in 2 and a half weeks (16 days).
When?
The challenge will run from the 4th – 19th July. We have included 3 weekends within this time frame and it also happens to be the school holidays so is a perfect challenge to get the kids involved in.
Where?
Anywhere and everywhere, in line with alert level guidelines of course. Run or walk around your neighbourhood, your favourite tracks, your local park, through the city or around your house – you decide.

Medals
All competitors will receive a special finisher medal for participating in this virtual event, these will be sent out to competitors upon the completion of the event. When registering for the event please take special care when entering your address as this is where your finisher medal will be sent to.
How does it all work?
Once you have registered and paid you will receive a confirmation email with a link to join the exclusive Facebook group. This is where we will set fun challenges and give away some epic spot prizes from our sponsors including Hell Pizza, 1-day, Skyline Rotorua, Millenium Rotorua and Redwoods Tree Walk Rotorua. You’ll be able to connect with fellow competitors, share your progress and ask any questions you may have.
How do I track my progress and where do I submit this?
You can track your progress however you like – we are encouraging people to use whatever apps/methods they are familiar with. This could be done using a Fitbit, a smart watch, an app, manually etc. We have recommended using the app Strava as this is widely used and easy to set up/accessible to almost everyone with a smart phone, but it is not compulsory. You also don’t need to submit your progress anywhere. We will be posting in the group every morning and encourage you to share your day’s activity summary on that post however it is not compulsory to do so in order to receive your medal. This is purely to share your journey, keep yourself accountable and hopefully motivate and inspire others along their journey.
