Three ways to set the goal
Build a challenge around distance, participation, or consistency. Set the target, choose the duration, and you're ready to run.
Distance
Race toward a kilometre goal — solo or shared across a team.
Participation
Log a set number of runs over the challenge window.
Consistency
Keep a weekly streak going to stay on track.
Compete
Solo, squad, or club vs club
Challenge just yourself, rally a group of friends, take on your entire club, or go head-to-head against a rival club.
Personal & Group
Set a private goal or invite friends into a shared challenge.
Club
Rally every member of your running club around one target.
Club vs Club
Challenge a rival club and settle it on the leaderboard.
