THE CHALLENGE

Walk, roll or hike one kilometer in as many countries as you can. Leave each one cleaner than you found it. That's the whole game.
the first km challenge

Walk your first km

Anywhere on Earth. Wheelchair, stroller, boots, bare feet — no barriers. Log it, snap it, pin it on the map.

Leave it better

The +1 rule: one piece of trash, one small kindness to the place. Before and after — that's the proof and the point.

Challenge three people

By name, not by hashtag. That's how the first kilometer travels further than any of us ever will.
