ABOUT THE CHALLENGE
What activities count? Walking, running, cycling, swimming, hiking, canoeing, dancing – anything Strava can track or you can manually load that equates to distance covered.
Do I have to complete a certain distance? The target is for everyone to complete 100km. Every km helps move the Challenge along the Amazon.
Can I join after the Challenge has started? We would prefer everybody who wants to take part is registered before 31th July.
Can I take part if I’m not in the UK? Absolutely. The challenge is fully virtual and open worldwide.
Can children take part? Yes. They must be registered individually with a unique email address (a free Gmail account works perfectly).
FUNDRAISING
Is the £100 fundraising target per person or per team? Per person. It’s a suggested goal, not a requirement.
Can team members fundraise collectively? No. Fundraising is tracked individually, but team totals combine everyone’s contributions.
What happens if I don’t reach my target? Nothing at all. Every pound raised helps support community and environmental projects in Latin America.
TEAMS AND PARTICIPATION
How do I create or join a team? During registration, you’ll be given the option to create a team or join an existing one.
Can I take part on my own? Yes. Solo participants are just as welcome and contribute to the overall challenge total.
Tracking Progress How will I know how far we’ve travelled? You can see this on the enthuse website/app.
