Highway-19 Virtual Challenge

/in /by

We’re super-excited to launch our newest virtual challenge:

HIGHWAY-19

In response to COVID-19, we decided to create a virtual challenge that would keep our community fit, motivated, happy and healthy during this uncertain period.

 

About HIGHWAY-19

Starting Weds 1 April 2020, join us as we run, walk, cycle, swim, hop, skip and jump our way around Australia*. Our goal is to circumnavigate the full distance around Australia on HIGHWAY-19 – a whopping distance of 14,500km.

(*Following government guidelines in response to COVID-19.)

Each week we will set a target goal – i.e. travel from Sydney to Brisbane (920km). We will all jump in with the aim of completing the target distance – doing whatever activity we prefer. At the end of each week, we will submit our weekly mileage to our ‘Virtual Challenge Navigator‘, who will plot the distance covered on our virtual map.

Our challenge is to circumnavigate Australia within 2-months – April and May 2020. Some weeks will be shorter and easier, other weeks will be longer and harder.  But one thing is for sure – our BEXI community loves a challenge!

 

Bonus Kilometers

Bonus km’s will be awarded as follows:

  • Completing virtual home workouts – 30mins = 5km | 45mins = 10km | 60mins = 15km
  • Swim distances will be multiplied by 10 (i.e. 1km swim = 10km)
  • Junior distances will be multiplied on a tiered scaling – 5-10yrs x 4 | 11-15yrs x 3 | 16-20yrs x 2
  • Distances will be doubled for those who ‘lead’ a session (i.e. mark a trail run; plan a solo run session; plan an indoor training session; etc.)
  • Wildcard challenges will randomly be issued throughout the challenge – these will attract vast bonus km’s
  • Spot prizes will be allocated along the way

 

What is the cost?

FREE! GRATIS! GRATUITE!

We want to support our BEXI community, their family and friends.

What happens at the finish?

Should we achieve our goal, all participants will receive a finishers medal or apparel*. (This will incur a small charge.)

How to register?

Small acts, when multiplied by many people, can transform the world.
