The Challenge

A Challenge Worthy of a Story: Welcome to the Jane Austen Virtual Challenge, a journey about one of England’s most beloved authors. From the quiet pews of Steventon’s St. Nicholas Church to the dramatic coast of Lyme Regis and the fictional charm of Highbury, each stop immerses you in Austen’s world. Lace up, log your miles, and step into the Regency era with every stride.

Virtual Challenge: This is a virtual challenge, allowing you to participate from anywhere in the world! All you need is your favourite activity tracker or app to log your miles. If you use Strava you can connect this to your challenges.

Run, Walk, Cycle, Row, Swim, Move, Step or Roll: Whether you prefer running like the wind, walking through picturesque trails, cycling with the freedom of the breeze, rowing across virtual waters, or even rolling with joy, the choice is yours!

Not a running fan? No problem you can use our app to submit time based activity such as dancing, weightlifting or gardening.

Flexible Timeline: Start your challenge up to 3 months after you sign up and have the full challenge duration. After three months your challenge duration will start. So set your own timeframe and off you go!

For All Ages: Whether you’re a seasoned runner, weekend walker, or a family ready to spark some fun together, the Jane Austen Challenge is built for everybody. With two distances for all fitness levels, it’s the perfect way to turn movement into motivation. Fuel healthy habits, chase your goals, and make powerful memories along the way — solo or side by side with friends and family. Your fire’s in there. Let’s find it.

As you progress through the challenge, you’ll unlock 10 powerful milestones — each one a story-driven waypoint designed to ignite motivation, encourage growth and help your rise like a phoenix.

To unlock a milestone you need to have past it in the map. Then in the milestone go through all the pages until you see the complete button. Press this and the milestone turns gold and unlocks the next one, once you have passed it.

Track your Progress

You can track all your activity in miles, KM’s or steps directly in our mobile iOS and Android apps or using the website, so if you do not want another app, no problem.

You can enter an activity into the app either by manually entering its distance, using the screenshot reader or by syncing your activities from Strava, and choosing which ones to add.
