👇 WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

Everyone – Hitachi and Hitachi Energy employees, friends, and family members! Let’s make 2025 epic together. You can participate as:

• Team Captain leading the team to the finish line.

• Team Member joining a team.

• Super busy? No worries! You can still show your support with a donation.

👇 WHEN AND HOW?

Starting June 2025, you can start your team building activities, ensuring you're ready to start the challenge in September. There are two ways to form a team:

• Captains can create their own teams and register together. Each team can consist of up to 10 members, including the captain.
• Solo participants will be grouped by the organizers into teams of 10 within the same category. Assigned teams will be notified and asked to choose a captain and team name.

👇 REGISTRATION PROCESS

Stay tuned, the registration will open at the beginning of August.

👇 What's new?

While keeping the My Virtual Mission app - your trusted companion from the BK2S 2022 and 2024 challenges - we're now exploring new routes:

• Madrid to Senegal: 3.000 km
• Muscat to Senegal: 7.000 km
• Manila to Senegal: 14.000 km

Return routes for all three categories will also be available.

As an extra motivation to exercise and compete in the teams, Hitachi Energy will unlock another US$5,000 for every 100.000 km we cover altogether.

👇 ACTIVITIES

Any activity counts - running, swimming, walking, you name it!

👇 How to log distances?

Log your distances manually or automatically through Apple Health, Google Fit or from Fitbit, Garmin, etc.

To transform any non-distance activities into measurable distances, use this guide and let’s make every move count! Here a GUIDE

👇 HOW MUCH DISTANCE SHOULD I COVER?

To help you track your progress effectively, here are your weekly and daily distance goals for each challenge level, considering a team of 10 members over 90 days:

• Casual (Madrid to Senegal): aim to cover 23.33 km per week, which breaks down to approximately 3.33 km per day.

• Competitive (Muscat to Senegal): set your target at 54.44 km per week, equivalent to an average of 7.78 km per day.

• Elite (Manila to Senegal): take on the ultimate test by covering 108.89 km per week, averaging about 15.56 km per day.

These distance goals provide a structured framework to keep you motivated and on track to complete your chosen challenge level within the designated time frame. While the overview shows an average distance guide, you can set your own pace and target. Remember, every step you take brings you closer to your destination!
