Looking for something exciting and adventurous to undertake next year? Perhaps you are on a mission to get into peak shape or as fit as you can be, or maybe you’ve faced a number of personal challenges across 2022 and want to dedicate time to a physical challenge to overcome that shifting your focus and concentration onto new goals.
There are many reasons why you may want 2023 to be the year you take up a fresh and exciting challenge. Many do it after the loss of a loved one or having undergone life-changing medical treatment, such as getting the all-clear from cancer or having been to an addiction treatment centre and wanting to get their life back on track.
Whatever the reason for wanting to challenge yourself though, there are plenty of opportunities for you. So, what should you challenge yourself with?
The Hike Of A Lifetime…
If you feel it’s time to take on something monumental, then why not go on a hike to remember and scale one of the world’s most iconic locations? For many, that is Kilimanjaro, one of Africa’s, and the world’s, most prominent mountains, while for others it could be the Inca Trail or the famous El Camino de Santiago in Spain.
All over the world, there are some incredible, life-changing trails to enjoy and they could be perfect for you to really challenge yourself.
Run A Marathon
One of the most common and most popular challenges from a physical point of view that anyone can take up is running a marathon.
It’s no easy feat but each year millions of people take on the challenge around the world, running famous races such as London, New York, and Berlin, as well as more local marathons or more obscure routes such as the Great Wall Marathon or the Polar Circle Marathon.
A Long, Long Cycle Route
As well as epic hikes, there are some pretty epic cycle routes around the world too that are great for a challenge. There are many group-led events around the world, from the cycling stages of the Tour de France to incredible mountain challenges or even routes across countries.
For those living in the UK, London to Paris is a popular cycle event for people of all abilities, while globally you’ll find all manner of challenges such as the US Coast to Coast route and the Mallorca 312.
