In earlier blog posts, I talked about my decision to try a new type of virtual run challenge, the Conqueror Virtual Challenges, as well as my completion of the following challenges:

1. The English Channel
2. The Inca Trail
3. Mount Fuji
4. Angkor Wat
5. Marathon to Athens
6. The Berlin Wall
7. Amalfi Coast
8. Easter Island
9. Paris
10. Rome
11. Bangkok
12. Washington DC
13. The Jesus Trail
14. Mount Everest
15. Trek to Petra
16. Flower Route
17. Yosemite
18. Tokyo
19. The Giza Pyramids
20. The West Coast Trail
21. Singapore
22. Forbidden City
23. Los Angeles
24. Kruger
25. Banff
26. Torres del Paine

I have since completed my twenty-seventh Conqueror Virtual Challenge, Kokoda Trail.

The Kokoda Trail Virtual Challenge takes participants “from Kokoda town to Owers’ Corner through Papua New Guinea’s extraordinary natural settings. One of the world’s greatest treks, it is renowned as the location of the battles between Australian and Japanese forces in 1942.”

I chose to complete the Kokoda Trail Conqueror Virtual Challenge via indoor walking, sessions on the elliptical and rowing machines, stationary bike rides, and logging my daily steps. I completed this Challenge from June 30 until July 16, 2024.

Just like when I completed the previous Challenges, I received a race bib, postcards along the way, a finisher’s certificate, and a finisher’s medal. You can find pictures of these below.

The next Conqueror Virtual Challenge I participated in was Mount Kilimanjaro.

Stay tuned for updates.
