The journey has begun...and Fresno County is going the distance!

Hi there! We just wanted to stop by and say "Well done!" and "Keep up the good work!" to all those participating in Walk to Mordor 2022.

As of this morning, at least 26 people have reached the Prancing Pony in Bree (34 miles), four intrepid travelers have reached Rivendell (129 miles!), and one has already arrived in Lothlorien (259 miles)!  

These numbers only account for members of our Fellowship who have submitted the webform on this site to let us know they've reached specific milestones (and claim their commemorative badges for those Middle-earth locations).

How far have you made it so far? How are you staying motivated? Please share in the comments! 

On Facebook or Instagram? Please share updates from your journey with us using the hashtag #FresnoWalkstoMordor. We'd love to see what you and your Fellowship are up to! 

Remember: this challenge allows for conversion of non-walking physical activities into "walking miles." If you find it difficult or physically impossible to walk long distances, but you bike or use a manual wheelchair some or all of the time, you can still be part of our journey!
