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.
