458 MILES from Hobbiton to Rivendell!

And the road goes ever on and on...

The original Walk to Rivendell Challenge began on Monday, March 17th, 2003, but it is never too late to join in. We have other distances throughout Middle Earth that you may choose to travel. The founder of this fitness challenge is our Ranger Jewel. She began researching the miles, milestones and time frame of the hobbits’ journey to Rivendell in Fellowship of the Ring . We were later joined by Karen Wynn Fonstad, author of the Atlas of Middle-earth. Mrs. Fonstad provided us with very detailed charts of all the Fellowship’s journey through Middle Earth. Much of the information provided is exclusive to the Eowyn Challenge and can be found nowhere else. The challenge is very simple and flexible; anyone can develop their own variation on this basic idea.

For more information, see our Walk to Rivendell page.

Wow, that's a really cool site. I never realised the distances between places. Thanks for a great find!

I'll have to keep track of my treadmill walking and see where it takes me!

Thanks for the heads up on this site. It is really cool. Have to get the odometer on my stationary bike fixed and see where it takes me!

Great for the imagination when you contemplate where you're going on these never ending journeys. :)
