Great Barrier Reef Trail - 1317 miles
During the coronavirus pandemic in 2021, I signed up for "The Conqueror Challenges". The Great Barrier Reef (Australia) Virtual Challenge takes you on a 1317 mi / 2117 km route through the most extensive reef system in the world, home to over 9,000 known species. The challenge started on the 8th of April 2023, and I finished it on the 29th May 2023. I completed the distance by walking my dog and cycling on my static bike.
