**Tour 2: Adventure Kitten - DISTANCE CHALLENGE (Jan 27-Feb ?? 2025)**

Bring It On, 2025!

DKWTS 5.0

2025 DKWTS CHALLENGES

DKWTS 5.0 will be made up of “Tours” (main challenges) each consisting of multiple "Stages” (smaller challenges) plus a few “Bonus” stages to equal a total of 9 weeks. Tours will be scored by overall metrics (such as time, distance, and elevation). Stages and Bonus challenges may be scored using other data. Participants will be awarded “Purrito Points” for the challenges and activities they complete. There are a variety of ways to score Purrito Points during the series. Some are participation-based (P) and others are competition-based (C) and will be ranked. But remember: All rides count. The more Purrito Points you get, the more chances you have to WIN prizes!
