The Challenge:

How far from home could you get in 24 hours? No cars, no trains, no boats, no wheels, in fact, no transportation but your own legs. Where would you go? What would you plan? Could you make it the whole 24?

Now’s your chance to find out. In October 2025, the third ever 24 Hours from Home challenge begins…at your home.

Here is how it works. Sometime between 12pm Thursday, October 9th and 11:59pm Sunday, October 12th, a 3-and-a-half-day window of time, leave your place of residence and travel as far as you can from home, walking, jogging, ambling, running, sauntering, perambulating, sprinting or stumbling. At the end of 24 hours, whoever is furthest from home, as-the-crow-flies/straight line distance, will be declared the winner.

You may travel supported or unsupported, single or as a tandem, with gear or without, it’s totally up to you to plan and execute the challenge. There is no set route, only 360 degrees of possibilities, worldwide.
