Explore Your Neighbourhood – 7 Days / 7 Routes 🗺️

Tired of always taking the exact same route? The “Explore Your Neighbourhood – 7 Days / 7 Routes” challenge is about gently breaking your routine and discovering what is around you.

Over 7 days, on at least 5 different days you set out on a new street, park or route in your local area and log your adventures – on foot, running or by bike. 💚

Who is this for?

• People who always walk or run the same loop and want some variety.
• City dwellers who barely know the side streets and hidden parks near them.
• Villagers who would like to explore local tracks, fields and paths.
• Anyone who enjoys small discoveries and wants a gentle nudge to get outside.

Timeframe & goal

• Timeframe: 7 consecutive days
• Goal: on at least 5 of those days you move along a
  new route in your neighbourhood
  (a new street, park, path or area you do not normally use).

Accepted activities

Counted as “exploring”:

• walking or strolling,
• running or jogging,
• cycling,
• easy hiking or local trail walking.

Not counted on its own:

• walking the exact same everyday route that you always use,
• very short “just to the bin” walks,
• moving only inside buildings (shopping centres, office corridors, etc.).

The key is that you deliberately choose a new or slightly different route – a new turning, a different park, a side street you have never really walked along.

How does it work – step by step?

1. Join the challenge
   On the Közös Kilométer platform, choose the
   “Explore Your Neighbourhood – 7 Days / 7 Routes 🗺️” challenge.
2. Plan your “explore week”
   Over the next 7 days, aim to go out every day if you can, and make sure that on at least
   5 days you take a different route from your usual one.
3. Go out and explore
   Each “explore day”, choose something new:
   • turn down a side street you have never used before,
   • cross to the other side of the river,
   • try a different entrance to the park or a new path through it,
   • cycle or run around a different block or estate.

   The distance does not have to be long – the focus is on curiosity and variety, not performance.

4. Upload proof to your profile
   On the days when you take a new route, upload photos and/or app screenshots to
   your profile (see ideas below).
5. You donate directly
   When you have completed the challenge (at least 5 “new route” days within 7 days),
   you make a donation to a charity of your choice.
6. Close / “order” the challenge
   Mark the challenge as completed on the platform so that the system can
   award your points and badge to your profile.

What should you upload to your profile?

For this challenge, your profile becomes a tiny travel diary of your area.
It should show that you really went somewhere new.

Suggested content:

• Route / place photos:
  • a new street sign, corner, square or alleyway,
  • a park, playground, small wood or field you have not posted before,
  • a view from a bridge, path by the water, a new viewpoint.
• Activity screenshots (optional):
  • walking / running / cycling app map showing a different route,
  • distance and time from your exploring walk/run/ride.
• Short notes, for example:
  • “New street today – never noticed this before 😊”
  • “Explore Day 3/5 – discovered a tiny park behind the station 🌳”
  • “5/5 routes – I actually know my neighbourhood better now! 🗺️”

Donation – how to help

For the “Explore Your Neighbourhood – 7 Days / 7 Routes” challenge, the recommended fixed donation is 1 000 Ft per person.

If you complete the challenge (at least 5 days with new routes within 7 days), we kindly ask you to:

• donate at least 1 000 Ft (or more, if you wish),
• directly to a charity or non-profit organisation of your choice – for example an environmental, community, children’s or health organisation.

Important:
Közös Kilométer:

• does not collect or handle money on behalf of charities,
• does not receive donations for challenges,
• only provides the platform, community and motivation – the donation is always made directly between you and the organisation you choose.

Points & badges + random verification

By completing the “Explore Your Neighbourhood – 7 Days / 7 Routes 🗺️” challenge you:

• earn points in the Közös Kilométer system,
• receive a special “Explore Your Neighbourhood” badge on your profile. 🏅

To receive these:

• meet the challenge conditions (at least 5 “new route” days within 7 days),
• upload proof to your profile (photos, optional app screenshots, short notes),
• close / “order” the challenge on the platform.

Random verification:

To keep things fair, challenge completions may be checked at random using the content on your profile:

• photos,
• activity screenshots (if any),
• your written notes about the challenge.

If, during such a check, it cannot be reasonably verified that you have actually completed the challenge (for example, there is no sign of any new routes), Közös Kilométer reserves the right to:

• remove the points and badge awarded for this challenge.

This is important so that points and badges reflect real achievements, and the system stays fair and motivating for everyone. 💚
