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.
