Frequently asked questions

This September, we’re challenging all Tokio Marine Kiln employees to collectively travel the distance between your London and Singapore offices - 10,850km.

You can cover the distance in any way that works for you - run, walk, wheel, cycle, swim or a combination of them all – it’s up to you! This is your personal challenge, and we encourage everyone to adapt it to suit their needs and goals.

To sign up to the challenge, register here.

After registering, an online fundraising page will be automatically generated so you can start sharing the link with friends, family and colleagues for sponsorship. 

There is no entry fee for this challenge, but we do however ask you to fundraise as part of your challenge. Using the fundraising page set up for you when you register is the easiest way to collect sponsorship.

All employees of Tokio Marine Kiln can take part in this challenge.

You can take part individually or as part of a team. Why not cover some kilometres with colleagues or friends to help support you along the way? Make it social and enjoy some fresh air together!

Registration opens on 3 August, and the challenge itself will take place between 1 and 30 September 2026!

Please note fitness tracking on the website will be enabled from 1 September.

Registration opens on 3 August, and will remain open until the end of September, so you can sign up at any point during the challenge. 

Please note that kilometres will be counted from 1 September to 30 September, so the earlier you sign up, the more time you'll have to cover the distance.

This is a virtual challenge, so you can do this throughout September wherever and whenever you like! You can take part in your local area, park, or gym, and you can make it a solo challenge or take part as a team with your colleagues.

Just be sure to update your distance and post your progress on your fundraising page so friends and family can cheer you on and we can see how you're doing too!

During the registration process you will be asked if you would like to create a team. You can then choose your team name and team fundraising target, and decide whether you would like others to be able to join your team - you can do this by making the team 'public' or 'private'.

You can also create a team after registration by logging in and clicking the ‘Create a team’ button on your dashboard.

During the registration process you will be asked if you would like to ‘join’ or ‘create’ a team. Simply select ‘join’ and a search bar will appear where you can search for the team you would like to join.

Once a team has been created, you can also join at any time after registration by logging in, searching for your team page and clicking ‘Join us’. Make sure the team captain has set the team to ‘Public’ in the team page settings to allow others to join, and this button will appear on the page.

When you register for the event, an individual fundraising page is automatically created for you. If you create or join a team, all individual pages within that team are linked, so any donation made to an individual page also counts towards the team’s total.

When a team is formed, a separate team fundraising page is also created. Your sponsors can choose to donate either to an individual page or directly to the team page, depending on which link you share.

No - there is not a limit, the more the merrier!

Each individual in a team will have to log their own distance. This is because individual pages make up a team, and so the distances uploaded by individuals will be added together to create the team total.

Your profile page includes your personal distance tally so you can track your distance towards your target. This is a great way to keep your friends updated on your movement!

Track your kilometres automatically:

You can keep track of your kilometres automatically using the fitness apps Fitbit, Strava, MapMyFitness or Garmin, for example, and your distances will automatically be added to your tally.

  • When you next work out, select  start your workout in the app on your phone. Once you end your workout,  save your workout and your distance will be published to the tally on your page the following day.

Your tally will be updated each day with the previous day’s distances.

Add your kilometres manually:

Follow these steps to log your kilometres manually on your page and keep friends and family updated. This is a great option if you’re using a pedometer or a different method of tracking your distances.
