Agents invited to “step” up to the challenge once again, and this time learn about Patagonia’s most famous trek.

Back by popular demand, G Adventures has announced the launch of their W Trek Step Challenge – a revamp of their famous Inca Trail Steps Challenge – where agents can learn about each day on the trek whilst getting active (and competitive) at home.

Agents can enter as a team, individual, or both and accumulate their steps each day to discover just how far of The W Trek they can conquer over a four day period, combine that with a daily Patagonia fact blast, photos, videos, songs, podcasts and stories, and they’ll be an expert in all things Patagonia by Friday!

Over the course of four days agents will be aiming to complete 57kms (roughly 71,250 steps), the same length of days and distance that it takes to do the W trek with G Adventures! Throughout the challenge, they’ll be learning all about G Adventures tours in Patagonia, so that they can book their clients on their own tour of one of the world’s most scenic treks with passion and confidence.

To get involved in the W Trek Step Challenge agents need to register online by close of business, Monday May 25. From there, you’ll simply use the steps app on your phone (or another fitness tracker app) to track your daily step activities each day, and accumulate your team results to send to G Adventures GPS  Jake Hilbert by 11am each morning. The competition will run from Monday May 25 until midnight Thursday, May 28. Winners will be announced on ‘Active Wear Friday’, on May 29.

G Adventures GPS Jake Hilbert believes The Steps Challenge is a fantastic way for agents to stay engaged during this time of adjusting to our new normal, whilst getting active and learning about the different active tours offered by G Adventures.

“We’re finding that during these difficult times, agents are responding to light hearted training incentives that are educational, engaging, entertaining and that connects them to others in their community,” said Hilbert.

“We saw a huge response to our last challenge, with 155 agents participating across Australia and New Zealand, 4,900,971 total steps taken and 3,920kms trekked – which is enough to have trekked the Inca Trail 89 times!”

Agents are encouraged to join the Agents of Change Group for all the updates and bonus step challenges via Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/AUNZAgentsofChange/. Any cheeky registrations after May 25 will still be welcome! Just email jhilbert@gadventures.com.
