I’m a cross country and Track runner and I’m always thirsty for a nice race with a metal in the end. I’m on off season but I’m still training with a few people. These challenges are amazing because you can do it by yourself and work on your own pace and what works for you. This can keep me motivated and happy while I wait for my next seasons
Just finished my first challenge last weekend with Marathon to Athens. Gave me more reason to get out of the house, and run haha What got my attention to the CC was as you said. It's themed, the medal designs look great, each challenge is unique, you get to do it by not just running, but also walking, and you get postcards by email, and notifications as you progress further within the distance. The only drawback I have, is making sure you put in the correct distance to not cheat. The price is worth it. Now, to wait for my medal to come in!
I was thinking about doing the Marathon to Athens race. I’ve never done any sort of virtual race, so I am looking forward to it. Thanks for the informative video.
Just finished the Cape Breton Trail challenge and it was a great experience! I found it very motivating, and I finished it a lot earlier than I thought I would. I use my Fitbit, and it logs my miles/activities for me, and then the app uploads it all each night. I have been thinking of trying the Appalachian Trail next to challenge myself.
I’m signing up to the Grand Canyon one. It’s 280 miles and I’m hoping to raise money for charity. I do very little fitness so I’m looking forward to pushing myself. My time period is going to be a year but I hope to complete in 150 days or less!
Currently doing the English channel. A mix of walking and rowing(machine). I'm proud of my self as I have 11 more miles to go as of today. I'll update when I finished the challenge.
they definitely got my attention with the lord of the rings challenge, and the collector in me loves that i can collect and stay active at the same time!
I don't really care about pushing myself to complete a certain mileage, but I WANT those Lord of the Rings ones lol! I'm a delivery driver so I could probably knock it out pretty quick. I never keep track of my steps, but some of my coworkers do and and their mileage is pretty high for a single shift.
I love the Conqueror challenges! I'm working on Mt. Fuji right now. I've been recording my time on a ski machine and counting it as cross country skiing on the conversion chart. And it's fun to record it all in the ap as skiing. The conversion chart is my new best friend and I love how I can even count house cleaning towards miles lol. I have a lot of health issues so house cleaning is a really huge challenge for me. Knowing I can get miles for it motivates me to clean more! Shshsh! Don't tell anybody I said that! Haha
Hello there 😁 top priority...i do love House cleanings.. jogging.. swimming... aerobics...spin bike... trampoline..and indoor rowing... looking forward to join the Conqueror Challenge in the near future 😂
I started this and I’m doing the Angkor wat race (20 miles). I’m only counting my walking and swimming for the race. Since I’m lap swimming I’m not going with the chart that they have as it would give me more miles than I actually swam. I think it is worth it if you are doing primarily distance based exercising. The converting weight lifting and other exercises like it sound like a pain. But as someone who is trying to be more active and wants something to motivate them I think this is great thing to try.
I want to do the Flower Route one first and then maybe the Romantic Road or North Coast. I haven't ran in about 8 months due to a long-running injury and surgery so only logging running (or run/walk starting back up) miles towards the medals will be a good reward.
I've just completed Mt Everest and awaiting my medal so looking forward to receiving that 😊 i have now started Mt Fuji and can safely say I think this could be addictive 😀 am thinking of starting the route 66 one and have it ticking along in the background as its so long.
Well, I need to lose some weight, and this seems like a good motivation to get going. :-D As I love ancient Egypt, I signed for the Giza one (tough I am also thinking about entering the Mt. Everest one, but we´ll see. I signed today, but as it is already evening, I will start tomorrow. I am pretty interested how it will go, and that medal certainly seems like a pretty good motivator. As it is my first similar challenge, I set my time for the maximum. But I suspect that I will conquer it sooner. :-D
If you're on a stationary bike or treadmill, is there video of the route to watch? We hike a lot. Looking at the Scotland NC 500. But really only interested if I'm virtually hiking with a video of someone actually hiking the trail.
@@NoFate247 Okay, so I think, that as a beginner I will go for the Grand Canyon challenge and then maybe for Route 66, because that medal is TOP. And also I can do something for my health too! Have a nice day man
@@NoFate247 Hi, thanks for your reply. From researching the internet, Conqueror is a better app experience, that's why I bought several challenges with the great New Year Deal they have. But I love a few of the pacer medals. I might buy one from pacer and try it also
I'm just now getting back into running due a super long recovery from shin splits so I just now signed up for one to hopefully get me back into my routine
I’ve always been curious about this virtual running app. As you are running on a treadmill for example, can you visually see where you are running through? I’ve run on the treadmill’s at the gym that actually have a program where you can see where you’re running through almost as if you are there.
My girl and I are gonna sign up to finish one next week. Anybody know how long the medals take to arrive? She goes back to South Africa soon just wanna make sure it comes before she leaves. ❤️
Thank you for the video! Quick question, on the website it says you can use a fitness watch but do you know if you can use your phones GPS to track mileage?
You track it manually and yes it shows you where you are along your route, how far you have left, percentage completed, how far to the next milestone, etc.
Do they send pictures of the sceneries as you complete certain miles? (like when you travel in real life, you see beautiful landscapes that are picture worthy)
I am in 16 miles into Mount Kilimanjaro in the Conqueror race. I've also done Pacer and Runs with a Purpose. The race after this will either be Pacer or Conqueror.
@@NoFate247 A year later, how do I like virtual races? I enjoy them. I'm in the midst of the Amerithon but have also done both the Conqueror and the Pacer series. My faithful dog often walks with me. I do mostly walking, but have also done the exercise bike. I am just over 1,400 miles on the Amerithon of 3521 miles.
Hey... i have a questiom for you mann... what happens if we're unable to complete the challenge in a given time period?? Do we get an option to extend it or what??? I'm thinking of completeing the pacific crest trail as 2023 resolution! So thankyou and it would be very much helpful if it answers my question.
@@jj8065 basically you would be paying to cheat and you’re only cheating yourself. Neither is recommended. I only include outside cycling and jogging. I try not to include cycling from stationary bike. You can if you want to but I try to make it more realistic for me.
Yes! They ship the medals worldwide! In some countries it takes a little longer to get them because of customs, but most people get them within a month. And if it gets lost in the mail before you get it you can ask customer service for another one and they'll send it!
Is this race legit? I want to sign up, but keep seeing that people are having issues with either getting the code to participate after paying, or never receiving the medal at all. Can anyone that isn't sponsored please confirm that they are legit?

Just got the Mount Fuji one. Going to japan in 48 days and i'd like to be a bit more active before i go so this will for sure push me to do so.
Great idea
I wish they had a commentary with the app as you are walking and more photos of the places we are visiting. Just a thought!
Agreed
Excited to try this! Helpful video! I’m going to be primarily utilizing jump rope and doing the conversions
Love the jump rope!!!
I just finished the Marathon-Athen one and started with the Egypt/Gizeh today. Can't wait to receive my first medal by mail any day now :)
The medals are freaking awesome
Great video! Definitely going to give this a go. They have recently come out with a new medal Pacific Crest Trail which is even longer than Route 66!

can you just take your time and go on walks every so often?
Absolutely
Thank you for the video! Quick question, on the website it says you can use a fitness watch but do you know if you can use your phones GPS to track mileage?
Yes you can use your phone but not sure if it'll sync up to the app. You can always add it in manually
