Get in on the Action
Your team of four is about to embark on a virtual tour of central and northern Thailand. Our route will visit four schools where AWC Scholarship students study and will give you a glimpse into off-the-beaten path rural provinces that most tourists don’t reach.
You have 31 days to complete our 530km course. It’s a challenge but one we think you can achieve!

How do I Calculate Steps or Distance for Activities?
When possible, track distances using tools such as fitness apps, pedometers, or GPS watches. NOTE: All steps from your daily step-counter will count towards your totals. Please accurately track and report your distances each week so we can share updates on the total distances accumulated by each team and keep up with our leader board!
Guidelines for activities:
Walking 1 km = 1400 steps (10,000 steps = 6-8km)
Running 1km = 900-1100 steps (running is less steps due to increased stride length)
High-intensity activities:
-
Tennis: 1 hour = approximately 6-8 km;
-
Exercise classes (e.g., aerobics, spin): 1 hour = approximately 5-7 km;
-
Zumba: 1 hour = approximately 5-6 km
Low/Medium-intensity activities: Yoga: 1 hour = approximately 2-3 km
