I have since completed my fortieth Conqueror Virtual Challenge, Giant’s Causeway.

The Giant’s Causeway Virtual Challenge takes participants on a route along Northern Ireland’s breath-taking coast, where along the way they will “discover the tale behind the Giant’s Causeway—a giant, his clever wife, and a clever trick that sent a mighty rival running.”

I chose to complete the Giant’s Causeway Virtual Challenge via indoor walking, stationary bike rides, sessions on the rowing and elliptical machines, and logging my daily steps. I completed this Challenge from April 7, until June 2, 2025.

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 Niagara Falls.

Stay tuned for updates.
