Running challenge medals code#
I paid $29.95 to register for the challenge, which got me a virtual race bib, discount referral links and an access code to open an account on The Conqueror app. I chose the Flower Route Challenge because that was the one I had seen the most in the ads. Each challenge is themed after a location, and ranges in distance from the 20 mile Angkor Wat Challenge to the 2,485 mile Pacific Crest Trail Challenge. There were 38 to choose from, not to mention a separate page to suggest and vote for new challenges.
When I first looked at The Conqueror’s website, I was impressed by the variety of challenge options. Beyond niche fitness communities and blogs, however, there wasn’t much information about The Conqueror to be found. While some users reported issues with shipping and poor app functionality, most reviews seemed pleased with the program. The matching app has an average rating of 4.45 stars between the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store but is not available through Amazon’s app store. Judging by the photos attached to the reviews, I would say most of the consumer base for The Conqueror is middle-aged, with a good percentage having previously completed other challenges from the website. Speaking of medals, I noticed that a lot of the reviews on both programs’ pages mentioned the high quality of the medals they “won”. I looked into another program, Pacer Virtual Challenges, and didn’t see much difference outside of the medal designs. This idea is apparently popular in the fitness app industry, as I was promptly bombarded with ads for similar programs after registering for my challenge. Once the number of miles logged matches the challenge’s requirement, a medal is shipped to the user’s home as a tangible reward. The miles are logged on a paired app that keeps track of progress. The concept of the program is simple: Users pay to register for a challenge that requires a set number of miles to be completed. After looking at what vague information I could find and reading some mixed reviews, I decided to test it out for myself and see if The Conqueror is a scam. Curiosity got the best of me, and I did some research.
My Instagram algorithm somehow got the idea that I was into running, and for months filled my feed with advertisements for The Conqueror Virtual Challenges, a program that rewards users for running with a real medal. Though social media has a knack for its targeted ads, sometimes they miss the mark.
