Trimester 2’s Conqueror Your Exams challenge takes us on an almighty climb: to the summit of Africa’s tallest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania! While you tackle your exams, take on this walking challenge to stay active and healthy and get some much-needed fresh air between those long study sessions!

Join us as we conquer the The Kilimanjaro Challenge from the Conquerer Virtual Challenges, walking 97km over the course of the Trimester.  Not fit? No problem, you can take as long as you like to complete the challenge.  The idea is to keep active during the last few weeks of trimester, not run a marathon each day.  Take one month or take one year, it’s up to you.  You’ll even get a medal sent to you when you finish.

Embark on the Kilimanjaro Conqueror Virtual Challenge, covering a challenging 97 km walk from the base to the summit of Africa’s tallest mountain.  Challenge yourself to keep active during exam prep and assignments, and seize the opportunity to earn a remarkable medal!

But let’s be clear.  It’s not a race.

The goal of this challenge is to motivate you to keep active while you’re preparing for your exams, not to run a marathon.  How far you can go is completely up to you. Make your goal to get up regularly and walk around your kitchen for 5 minutes or go for a longer walk while you listen to lectures, you decide what goal is sustainable for you and we’ll cheer you on!

Worried about completing the distance in the time?

Don’t be!  The challenge has a start date.  No end date.  If your goal is to add a 20 minute walk to your routine and that’s all you can do during the challenge, that’s great!  Walk as far as you can during the challenge and complete the full challenge as you can.

This challenge is designed to help you cope with stress during assessments, not ADD to it.

How does it work?

Use the Conqueror app to seamlessly track your progress on the virtual route towards the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Every stride stepped or workout logged propels you forward on the interactive map, inching you closer to completing the entire distance.

Unlock local spots of interest as you reach specific milestones, revealing a gallery of images and videos.  Kilimanjaro is not only Africa’s tallest mountain, but also an incredibly diverse and beautiful blend of ecosystems, with flora and fauna thriving at all altitudes from base to summit.

I use a wheelchair.  Can I still take part?

Absolutely. The challenge includes wheelchair usage as one of the exercise categories.

Do I really get sent a medal for completing the challenge?

Yes. Yes, you do.
