Intergalactic Odyssey
Race Through Space — Galaxy Edition App is Now Available on Apple App Store and Google Play.
Begin Your
Become the first human ever to visit other galaxies by running millions of light-years in what feels like 5 kilometers!
You’ve volunteered for the human trials of an intergalactic device that’s powered by your feet and defies the laws of physics. You will set out on a journey of discovery, meeting real galaxies in the cosmos and learning what makes them unique. If the technology holds together, your 5K trip will conclude with a visit to a supermassive black hole from which there is no escape! Hooray!
Race Through Space
Galaxy Edition
Race Through Space – Galaxy Edition is a fitness experience designed to not only teach you about different celestial bodies but also to give you a sense of their actual distance, where 5 kilometers becomes proportional to 54.8 million light-years. The journey begins in the Milky Way, which is more than a tasty candy bar but is also our home galaxy. You’ll run 9,000 light-years per step through various galaxies with names like Sombrero, Needle, Black Eye, and Whirlpool, culminating in a visit to the first black hole that has ever been photographed by humans, the supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy called M87.
The app is free to download. Run or walk it anytime!
