HIGHEST

ELEVATION

Pretty self-explanatory - Take the flag as high as you can.

Try at least to keep one foot on the ground.

Planes don’t count unless you’re flying the plane or jumping out of it.

Space Rockets? Yeah - They count.

CAN YOU GO HIGHER?

FURTHEST

FROM HIKR HQ

From HQ… to wherever the trail leads.

For this year, we’re measuring distance as the crow flies -straight line from HIKR HQ (South Wales) to where the flag lands.

Next year, we may follow the path and the journey instead.

4228 miles as the crow flies.

CAN YOU GO FURTHER?

MOST

UNEXPECTED

This one’s about where the flag shouldn’t be - but somehow is.

Think everyday settings or overlooked spaces - a sunbed, supermarket shelf, phone box, rooftop.
Someone’s even mentioned taking it to a wedding.

It’s not about distance or height - it’s about creativity.

All entries must be legal, safe, and respectful.

COMMUNITY

FAVOURITE

This one belongs to the community. At the end of the year, we’ll gather the moments that stood out.

Not just high or far, but creative, personal, unexpected, or simply those moments that are impossible to ignore.

Then we hand it over to you and the choice is then yours.

You decide what wins.

VOTE FOR LAST MONTHS FAVOURITE.

MOST

SHARED

This one’s about momentum. The flag that gets around the most.

Photos are great, videos are even better - although they all count as one entry no matter the format!

We’ll try to keep up and verify entries
but this could get a bit crazy.

We know it won’t be perfect, so this category relies on honesty.

Keep it fair - we know you can - you've got this!
