Dream Challenge is the ultimate distance challenge app for iPhone. Many of us run the same place and distance every week. Or take the same power walk we always do. Many of us also get a kick out of challenging our friends, family members, work mates, etc. And many of us often dream of distant or exotic places.

With Dream Challenge, you can combine all of these. Giving you an opportunity to challenge up to ten (?) friends on a distance anywhere in the world, Dream Challenge is the perfect get out and move motivator. Just challenge, bring your iPhone, and push start when you go out for a walk, run, bike or ski next time. Using GPS technique, your usual 2 miles walk or 10 km run near home will turn into the same distance on a somewhat more exotic route - chasing (or being chased by) your friends.

You can challenge anyone in your contact list who has the Dream Challenge application. Your best friends, your partner, your neighbors, your relatives, your work mates, or your team mates.

And you can choose any distance in the world. Take a walk through Manhattan: first one from Battery Park to Harlem, passing by Broadway, Central Park and Ground Zero. Run across the Gobi desert or from Sao Paolo to Rio. Bike through France or from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Ski across the Himalaya. Or run the most classic of all distances: from Marathon to Athens in Greece. You can choose a shorter distance for a week - or an epic challenge over a continent or a year. And you can switch between traditional map and satellite view.

Through Dream Challenge, you will always be notified when someone else in your challenge has started running, and you can chat with the other participants - cheering or giving them a hard time. You will see how far you and the other people in your challenge have run on a map - and how "you" move ahead on the virtual route as you run your actual distance on your usual route. The winner gets a prize that you define yourself.

(Thinking about cheating? There will always be ways to do that. But we've tried to make it somewhat harder for you to do that. And, most importantly, what's the fun in winning by cheating?)

Now, the only two questions are: who are you going to challenge - and what route in the world are you going to choose?
