Why are miles not counting toward my challenge?

Typically, there are 3 reasons your miles may not be counting toward a challenge:
  • Challenge hasn't started.
  • Workout type doesn't match challenge. ex. walking workouts in a running challenge.
  • Miles only count after you join challenge.
  • Not one of these? Please contact us

I joined a challenge, but why are my previous workouts not counted?

Only workouts that you log after joining a challenge are counted towards it. This prevents people from joining and winning right away without giving the other participants a chance.

How do I leave a challenge?

You can leave a challenge by going to the challenge page. Scroll down and on the left sidebar you will see a small links that says, "leave challenge."
