Share your journey by tagging us on social media using #FitForTheOcean and #SeaShepherd. You can also send your pictures to chris@seashepherdglobal.org
You’ll be logging your activities using the Komoot tracking app. Once you’ve signed up on the Kamoot app, follow Sea Shepherd. Then before each activity, select your task – Run, Bike, or Other (for Swim and Kayak) – and tag Sea Shepherd once you have completed the task.
You can track your distance day by day instead of all at once—just make sure to save your progress and tag Sea Shepherd each time.
