Any and all exercise counts! You can walk, run, bike, swim, pogo stick...you name it! The idea is to MOVE for the mileage goal set for each quest.
For the month of June, join us as we take on The Hero’s Journey, a series of 12 quests following a protagonist, or hero, as they venture through myths, legends, and other narratives from June 1 to June 30, 2022.
Even if you haven't heard of 'The Hero's Journey', it's a story you've been exposed to more than you realize. It is the perfect framework for epic adventures, books, and movies. A well-known example is Star Wars (Luke is the only hope!).
There are twelve phases of The Hero’s Journey as the hero transitions from their own ordinary world into the unknown to complete a quest or mission to ultimately come back home. In our Hero's Journey you will have one month to complete 12 different distances (the quests, read more in our FAQ!), win prizes from our generous partners, and even win custom Hero's Journey swag of your choice. The distances range from 2 to 9 miles, and you can complete them by walking, running, biking, swimming, or any other form of exercise you choose. There is a suggested order to complete the quests to follow the trajectory of The Hero's Journey, but ultimately, you can complete your journey on your terms!
YES, our first Hero's Journey started June 1st. If you missed out never fear, we will be back for a second round in the fall!
Learn more about our medal and digital badges below
With the Get It All package option, you will receive one Hero's Journey medal at the end of the challenge. This centerpiece of the medal opens up via a hinge to reveal a two-sided coin that can be worn as a pendant! (Chain included).
On one side of the coin, there is a dragon, representing the dragons you slayed during the challenge, while the other side has a quote, "Remember What You're Capable Of" to remind yourself of how far you have come since the beginning of the challenge.
For each quest you complete, you will receive a digital shield in your Tracker, similar to a bib that you would receive for a race. Each shield comes with the option to upload your own photo to make your own unique shield!
Each shield has a unique image to represent that stage of the journey and they will pop up in your Tracker when the quest is completed.
