After joining a challenge
Once registered, the challenge page becomes your hub for results, progress, and communication.
Main navigation tabs #
Depending on challenge settings, you may see:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Overview | Rules, dates, goals, progress |
| Results | Public leaderboard |
| My result | Your activities, steps, points breakdown |
| My team | Team standings (if teams enabled) |
| Messages | Organizer and participant posts (if enabled) — Challenge message board |
| Step game | Daily tasks in step/combined challenges — Step game daily tasks |
| Standings | Series or stage standings |
| Analytics | Personal stats (if enabled) |
| Custom pages | Info pages added by the organizer |
In the mobile app, Results can contain separate Participants and Teams tabs. Open a participant or team for detailed results, credited activities, members, and per-sport totals when the challenge accepts more than one sport. Use the share action in the results header to send the challenge link.
Recording activities #
- Step challenges: carry your phone or sync your watch; steps update automatically.
- Sports challenges: record workouts in your connected app with Start/Stop.
- See Why activities are missing if data does not appear.
Results hidden periods #
Organizers can temporarily hide the public leaderboard. You can still view My result during hidden periods unless the organizer blocked that too.
Activity backfill #
When you join mid-challenge, activities you already recorded inside the challenge dates may appear on your result shortly after registration.
First-sync reminders #
If you have no connected app or no synced activities, DistantRace may email you reminders with links to connection guides.
For daily step emails, a day with no received record is shown as steps not received yet rather than as zero steps or a 100% shortfall. Open the app and refresh your step source before assuming the day was counted as zero.
