The challenge

Walk the coast path. Together.

The King Charles III England Coast Path runs around 200 miles through Kent, from Gravesend to Camber Sands. We're asking the whole WeRoam community to walk it — collectively. Whether you're on the coast or strolling through town, every mile adds to the shared total.

Every Kent mile counts

On the coast path or a lunchtime walk — wherever you roam in Kent, your miles add to the county total.

Six weeks, three prize draws

A draw every two weeks. Log just one activity in the window and you're automatically in.

Surprise Gold events

Time-limited Gold Markers drop across Kent with no notice. Be in the right place at the right time.

Walk or wheel

All ages and abilities welcome — "wheel" is for wheelchair users, so everyone can take part. Cycling isn't included in this challenge.

200

miles, walked together

From Gravesend to Camber Sands — one path, one county, one shared total.

How WeRoam works

Collect Roam Markers as you go

WeRoam rewards you for moving outdoors with digital markers placed right across Kent. Three tiers, three ways to score.

Bronze Markers

50–500 points, randomised daily. Permanent markers in every WeRoam town — the score changes each day, so any walk could be a big-points day. Your always-on habit engine.

Silver Markers

Fixed points on named routes. Placed along curated Explore Kent walking routes — follow the route and collect them all the way round.

Gold Markers

Never announced. Time-limited markers that appear by alert and vanish within hours. Scarcity is the whole game.

Gold Markers

Surprise events, all summer long

Gold Markers are the most exciting part of the challenge — surprise treasure that pops up all summer long. Around two events drop every week, each announced only by an alert and gone within hours. No advance notice, so keep your alerts switched on.

Weekend Blast

Gold Markers land for 48–72 hours — a reason to explore somewhere new for the weekend.

Milestone Event

Gold Markers appear at iconic locations, tied to challenge milestones — and a prize draw.

Surprise Drop

Completely unannounced. A 12–24 hour window, alert only. Blink and you'll miss it.

Partner Reward

Gold Markers at local businesses — discover one and unlock a voucher. Limited quantity, first come first served.

Town routes

Not on the coast? Walk your town.

You don't need to live by the King Charles III coastal path to take part. We're launching curated walking routes in towns right across Kent — each with Silver waypoints and a Bronze grid, built from Explore Kent's route library. Every mile still counts towards the shared total.
