Rules of the walk
The race runs for the calendar year — 1 January to 31 December — and resets on 1 January. You can join any time; all your steps since 1 January count.

How distance is worked out: if your app shows a distance we use it; otherwise we use 0.762 m per step.
The route: clockwise from Dover — south coast, Wales, Scotland, then down the east coast. The coastline is simplified to about 4,781 km.
Updating: upload a fresh screenshot whenever you like; your best verified total counts.
Names: use your real name or a nickname — it's what shows on the leaderboard.
