The Conqueror Challenges

For walkers motivated by a destination and something to hang on the wall. Each Conqueror challenge turns a famous route, such as the 637 km Roman Empire, into a distance you cover at your own pace, with your progress shown on a virtual map and Google Street View along the way. Finish and a real medal is sent to you; team entrants each get their own. You pick a goal of anything from a week to two years and can change it later. Distance can be typed in by hand or synced from Apple Health, Google Fit, Fitbit, Garmin, Strava or Map My Walk. The app is free, but each challenge is a paid entry, so check the price before committing to a set.
