Pilot Proposal · Summer 2026

Your community already runs.Let's get more of them into the store.

Three summer missions. Zero events to host. One measurable return: people walking into Gammel Kongevej 47.

Distance × CYKOM·Pilot proposal·Confidential·July 2026
Why Now

Community isn't new to Distance.It's the whole point.

Distance was never built to be just a shop that sells shoes. Storytelling, events, and community are the brand, not a marketing add-on to it. Distance Racing, the run crews, the Instagram following: all of that already exists. What's missing isn't community. It's a way to see which of those people actually walk into the store because of it.

Runners
The Problem

Engagement is easy to see.Store visits aren't.

Instagram followers, run crew attendees, and paying customers are three different lists that never talk to each other.

01
No link between activity and sales
Someone runs with the crew, but there's no way to know if they ever bought anything at Gammel Kongevej.
02
No repeat data
You don't know who shows up once and disappears versus who's building a real habit with the brand.
03
No reason to convert reach into a visit
Followers see the content. Nothing pulls them specifically into the physical shop.
The Concept

Three missions this summer.One goal: get them in the door.

No events to plan, no staff needed on-site, no logistics for Distance. Each mission is a simple running challenge inside the CYKOM app, curated to your Copenhagen community. Every finisher earns a reward that can only be redeemed in the CPH store. That's the whole mechanism: digital effort, physical payoff.

Curated to Denmark to start. Built to scale to your other stores whenever you want it to.

One habit.Three steps up.

A daily running habit that ramps up each month, from one easy kilometer a day in July to a real habit by September.

JULY
1K a Day

Run at least 1 km every day in July. The easiest possible entry point, built to get people into the habit.

31 km total
Cumulative · daily · easy
AUGUST
2K a Day

Step it up to 2 km every day in August.

62 km total
Cumulative · daily · moderate
SEPTEMBER
3K a Day

Close out the season at 3 km every day in September.

90 km total
Cumulative · daily · hard

Grand prize and finisher reward for each mission are defined by Distance. CYKOM builds, runs, and tracks the mission. Consider scaling the reward with the difficulty, since September asks a lot more of people than July.

The Mechanism

How it drives store traffic.

The reward only works if you walk into the store: every finisher reward is redeemable exclusively at Gammel Kongevej, so the redemption itself is the real proof point of who this actually reached. And we don't just build the mission and wait, we push people into it. Each mission goes out as a featured mission to our 7,000-person newsletter, with a targeted push to our 5,000 users in Copenhagen specifically.

How We Measure

You'll know exactly what this bought you.

01
Participants vs. finishers
Who joined, who actually completed.
02
Redemptions in-store
The number that matters most: how many finisher rewards were actually claimed at Gammel Kongevej.
03
Repeat participation
Who shows up across more than one of the three missions — your earliest signal of real loyalty.
04
Reach
Organic content and shares generated by the missions.

At the end of the pilot, you'll have a real answer to a question you can't currently answer: did this get people into the store.
