DO I HAVE TO VIRTUALLY WALK THE CAMINO ALONE?
No, you do not have to virtually walk the Camino alone. Create a team with your community of friends, family, officemates, or schoolmates.
HOW FAR DO I HAVE TO WALK?
We have mapped the approximate route of one of the most common routes of the Camino. The complete trail is from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France to Cape Finisterre, A Coruña, Spain. This distance is about 500 Miles (800 km). You can challenge yourself to walk the entire 500 miles in whatever increments you want.
DO I HAVE TO WALK THE ENTIRE WAY?
No. In fact, you can choose to go half way, which begins in Leon, Spain. There are two shorter distances as well: The last 100 Miles and a 60-Mile challenge. You decide for yourself. The idea is to set a challenging goal for yourself.
RECORD YOUR ACTIVITY
Stay focused and motivated to exercise by creating your own fitness challenge. Connect your favourite apps (Strava, Runkeeper) and smartwatch (Apple Watch, Fitbit, Strava) and share your progress on our platform or on social media as you walk virtually across Spain.
BECOME AN AMBASSADOR AND PART OF A LEGACY
By virtually walking the Camino, you are becoming part of an amazing legacy of Star Walkers. All participants will become Star Walker Ambassadors after completing the pilgrimage and will be added to our Virtual Wall of Walkers, which will include your name and picture and a link to your profile with a description of who you are and your pilgrimage experience.
