2,865 km from the Shire to Mount Doom. On foot.
Ordinary walking becomes a journey through Middle-earth. Count your steps, pass legendary waypoints, compete with friends. Free.
How to make walking exciting
You set a goal — 10,000 steps a day. A week later, you give up.
Regular step counters are boring. Numbers, graphs — zero motivation.
You want to walk more, but there's no real reason to.
Lord of the Steps is that reason. You're not just walking. You're walking from the Shire to Mordor.
