About us

At Conquest Challenges, we believe in the transformative power of setting goals, staying active, and exploring new adventures. Founded by Darren and Hannah Swan (along with their mini daschund 🐕) during the global pandemic, Conquest Challenges was born out of a desire to keep people motivated and engaged with their fitness journeys despite global disruptions. Our goal is simple: to help individuals from all walks of life stay active, connected, and inspired.

We understand that staying motivated with fitness can be challenging, especially without external factors like gyms, sports, or group activities. That's why we developed a unique approach to staying fit—one that’s fun, flexible, and works around your schedule and environment. With Conquest Challenges, you can take on incredible virtual fitness adventures, all from the comfort of your own home or favorite outdoor spot.

The Virtual Challenge Experience

Each Conquest Challenge is a virtual fitness journey where participants can track their progress along some of the world’s most iconic routes. From the winding roads of the Great Wall of China to the rugged trails of the Inca Trail, these adventures are designed to motivate and inspire participants to keep moving. As you log your daily steps, runs, or cycling distances, you advance on the virtual map, inching closer to your destination. Along the way, we’ll send you virtual postcards from notable landmarks, offering a glimpse of the culture, history, and beauty of the locations you're "visiting."

But the best part? You don’t have to be an athlete to join. Our challenges are inclusive, designed for people of all fitness levels. Whether you're running, walking, cycling, swimming, or even counting your daily steps, you can participate and experience the satisfaction of progress.

More Than Just Fitness

Conquest Challenges isn’t just about physical activity; it’s about community. We’re proud to have cultivated a supportive, global community of participants who share their stories, challenges, and triumphs. Through social media and our online platforms, participants can connect, encourage each other, and celebrate their achievements together. Whether it’s completing a 5K challenge or an epic 1,000-mile journey, every milestone is recognized and celebrated.

And it’s not just about finishing the challenge. At the end of each journey, participants receive a stunning, custom-designed medal to commemorate their achievement. These medals aren’t just rewards; they’re symbols of your determination, perseverance, and commitment to personal growth.

Our Mission

At Conquest Challenges, our mission is to empower people to stay active and healthy by turning fitness into an exciting, rewarding adventure. We’re passionate about helping people set achievable goals, maintain their momentum, and feel a sense of accomplishment every step of the way. Our challenges are designed to fit around your lifestyle, making it easier to stay committed to your fitness goals, no matter how busy life gets.

We also believe in giving back. That’s why we partner with charitable organizations, allowing participants to support causes they care about as they complete their challenges. With every step taken, not only are you improving your own well-being, but you're also contributing to a better world.
