What is the Nature Challenge?
The main goal of the Nature Challenge is challenging yourself to spend as much time in nature as possible during the month of May. It is on you to choose the challenge that suits you best; 10, 25, 50 or 100 hours. When, and in what company, you want to spend these hours in nature is entirely up to you. This is because our Challenge-app can register your kilometers and hours directly when on the trails. As an alternative, it is also possible to upload your data from your watch or handheld afterwards. When we confirm that you completed the Nature Challenge successfully, the unique Nature Challenge Medal will be delivered to your doorstep. This medal will help you to cherish those beautiful moments in nature you experienced!
Since runners and hikers move at a different pace, there is a distinct RUNNING and HIKING Nature Challenge. Both challenges have their own set of rules and their own unique medal.
