Join the Central Baltic Cooperation Challenge and Win Amazing Prizes! 

Are you ready to get active and connect with people across borders? We are excited to invite you to the Central Baltic Cooperation Challenge, an event where participants come together to reach a shared goal of covering 1,450 kilometers — the distance between the national contact points of Interreg Central Baltic (CB). This challenge is open to everyone within the CB programme area (Finland incl. Åland, Sweden, Estonia, and Latvia). Whether you’re a walker, cyclist, swimmer, or runner, this is a fantastic way to stay active, contribute to a fun challenge, and win exciting prizes! 

How does it work?

Participating in the challenge is easy, and you don’t need to be a fitness enthusiast to get involved. Here’s how you can join and be part of this unique initiative: 

📱 Create a Challenge Hound profile
Signing up is quick and free. You don’t need a paid subscription to join the challenge. Simply create your profile and secure your spot today, as spaces are limited.

💪 Cover at least 20 km
To qualify for the prize draw, all you need to do is log 20 kilometers using any non-electric sport. Whether you prefer biking, walking, running, or swimming, every kilometer counts! You can manually log your activities in Challenge Hound or sync them automatically from compatible apps. Read more. 

🏆 Win amazing prizes
Cooperation Champion Prize: The participant who logs the most kilometers by 19th October will win a GoGift gift card worth 100€, usable internationally. 

Prize Draw: Two lucky participants who have reached the 20 km mark by 19th October will also be selected in a random draw to win 100€ GoGift gift cards each. 

📅 Challenge Timeline 
The challenge runs for four weeks, starting from Interreg Cooperation Day and ending on 19th October. You can join at any point during this period, so it’s never too late to get moving! 

👟 Get Active, Get Connected 
This is more than just a fitness challenge – it’s about fostering cooperation across borders while staying active. Whether you’re looking to break your own personal records or just enjoy some fresh air, every step (or stroke, or pedal) you take brings us closer to our 1,450 km goal. 

So, lace up your shoes, hop on your bike, or dive into the water – let’s make every kilometer count!
