Donate.
They sweat.
You watch.
Raise money for a charity or cause you care about — then let every donation become distance you have to physically repay. Run, ride, swim or walk it off. You don’t have to be an athlete; you set the pace. Miss a week and it rolls over — debt never disappears.
For registered charities, personal causes and good old-fashioned bragging rights — anyone can start one.
The loop
Three steps. One escalating obligation.
Donors inflict
Pick an amount and a discipline. Your money goes to the cause — and converts to kilometres at the published rate. Leave a taunt. Climb the Most Wanted board.
Debt stacks
Distance owed grows with every donation and rolls over weekly if unpaid. A dynamic rate keeps the goal achievable — but the obligation is real.
You sweat it off
Anyone can — walk, jog, ride or swim it off at your own pace. Every activity is verified by Strava or GPS and decrements the debt live, in front of everyone.
Live campaigns
Real people, suffering on schedule.
Built to scale with you
One person or a whole organisation — same mechanics, same drama.
Anyone
Raise for a registered charity or a personal goal. Set your own weekly limits — walking counts — and let the internet do its worst. You don’t have to be sporty to start.

The stuff people ask before they pile on the distance.
Do I need an account to donate?
No — donating takes under a minute with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card, no account ever. You only sign up if you want to run your own campaign.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the fundraiser or organisation via Stripe — SweatDebt never holds your funds. Where a campaign names a charity, the money is raised for that cause and the page says so clearly.
Do I have to be an athlete?
Not at all. Walking counts, you set your own weekly limits per discipline, and the per-km rate adjusts so the goal stays achievable. Anyone can start one.
How is the exercise verified?
Repayments are backed by Strava activities or uploaded GPS files and run through plausibility checks. Self-reported entries carry a clear badge so donors can judge for themselves.
What if they don't finish the distance?
Donations are unconditional gifts — your money still goes to the cause regardless. The public, rolling-over debt is the motivation; the shame is the enforcement.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Donations are personal gifts and aren't tax-deductible, and there's no Gift Aid at this stage. Give because you want to make someone suffer for a good cause.
Give the internet permission to ruin your week.
For charity. For a cause. For the inevitable bragging rights when you actually finish.
