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?

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.
