What types of exercise count? Can I log multiple exercise types?

Question 8

How long does it take to complete the full distance?

Accepted Answer

The amount of time it will take you or your team to complete this journey depends on your fitness level, exercise type and team size. You can set a time frame of one week until June 30th, 2027, to complete each challenge. This goal can be easily changed at any time if you want to shorten or extend it.

Question 9

Can I extend or shorten the distance for my challenge?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can adjust the distances, but only for The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies Virtual Challenges using the Conqueror App’s Headwind/Tailwind feature. This feature allows you to choose a longer or shorter distance before starting a challenge, without changing the map or its content. Your progress along the route adjusts based on your selection: you can extend the challenge (Headwind) or shorten it (Tailwind). The medal will display the original distance, regardless of whether you use these features.
