What is a virtual challenge ?

A virtual challenge is a great way to set a fitness goal and stay motivated to reach it. These challenges can involve running, cycling, walking, swimming, or rolling a certain distance over a set period of time, and can be completed at any location and pace that suits you. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out on your fitness journey, virtual challenges are accessible to people of all abilities and can help you stay active and motivated as you work towards your personal fitness goals.

What's the differene between a virtual challenge and a virtual race?

A virtual challenge and a virtual race are both types of fitness events that can be completed online or remotely, rather than in person. However, there are some key differences between the two:

• Time frame: Virtual challenges tend to have a longer time frame, usually lasting for a month or more, while virtual races are typically completed in a single stint, often within a few hours.

• Distance: Virtual challenges often involve covering a longer distance, such as a marathon or a century bike ride, while virtual races tend to cover shorter distances, like a 5k or 10k.

• Pacing: Virtual challenges are generally completed at the participant's own pace and can be broken up into multiple stints, while virtual races are typically completed in one go and involve competing against the clock and other participants.

• Suitable for all abilities: Virtual challenges are generally more accessible and suitable for people of all abilities, as they allow participants to choose a distance that is challenging yet achievable for them. Virtual races, on the other hand, tend to be more demanding and may not be suitable for all fitness levels.

In a nutshell

Frequently Asked Questions

Automatically – Via the range of apps and devices that we connect with. Currently, we support: Fitbit, Google, Apple, Gamin, Oura, and Strava.

How do I enter my distance?

While we do have measures in place to detect cheating, we recognize that some people may still try to cheat if they really want to. For example, they might attach their fitness tracker to their pet instead of themselves. However, it's important to remember that there are no prizes or rewards for coming in first place in our challenges. If someone chooses to cheat, they are only cheating themselves and wasting their money. The true reward of participating in a challenge is the sense of accomplishment and personal growth that comes with setting and achieving a fitness goal.

How do you handle cheating?

How long does a challenge go for ?

We offer a wide variety of challenges to choose from, with time frames ranging from one week to 20 weeks. Whether you're looking for a short-term goal or a longer-term challenge, we have options that can fit your needs and preferences. Simply browse our selection of challenges to find one that interests you and aligns with your fitness goals.

How much does it cost to enter?

Which countries do you accept entries from ?

We are excited to welcome participants from all over the world to join our challenges! We offer global shipping on medals and apparel, so no matter where you are located, you can receive your rewards and show off your accomplishments. On average, we have people from over 80 countries participating in our challenges each month, so you'll be joining a diverse and supportive community of virtual fitness enthusiasts. We can't wait to have you join us on this journey towards achieving your fitness goals.

Can I enter multiple challenges at the same time?

Absolutely! You can participate in as many challenges as you like and post your distances to each of them. You have the option to post all your distances to all of your challenges, or you can customize which types of distances go to which challenges. For example, you might want to post your walking distances to one challenge and your cycling or swimming distances to another. The choice is completely up to you and allows you to tailor your participation in the challenges to your individual goals and preferences.
