You choose which pace suits you. Take your colleagues on a sunny walk or run. Win over yourself and others as you push your way around Kista surroundings.
Each route has a suggested starting point and our instructions are based on this. However, feel free to start anywhere along the route as long as you follow the route direction and return to your starting point.
There is a map for each route with instructions, images, and a GPX file. Read the instructions and look at the images before starting so you can plan ahead. Open the detailed map on your phone's browser and zoom in if necessary.
Unfortunately, we don't have the permission to label/mark all routes. That's why we recommend tracking your position during the challenge. There are two ways to do this:
1. Open the map for the route with your phone. Press the little target button in the lower left corner to activate GPS tracking. Note: This function is not 100% accurate and may show an incorrect position at times.
2. Use the GPX files included for each route with your favourite tracking app (Strava, Runkeeper, Garmin). There's also a free and simple app called "GPX-Viewer" available on the App Store or Google Play.
There are routes/sections without lamp posts. We recommend that you complete the routes when the sun is up; if you do race in the dark, then be sure to use a headlamp. Remember to always stay safe!
Complete all five routes within three set timeframes and claim gold, silver, or bronze status.
Gold = finish the challenge in one week or less
Silver = finish the challenge in one month or less
Bronze = finish the challenge in one year or less
Note: there's no possibility for us to police results and use of medals. We'd like to trust that people are honest about their performance.
