Challenge setup guide
Distance Quest
A fixed-distance challenge where participants work toward a visible target and completion status.
What is this challenge about?
Distance Quest uses a distance goal, measured in kilometers across the activity types you select. A 100 km target could combine running, cycling, walking, swimming, indoor cycling, indoor running, and rowing. The objective is about reaching the target, not about assigning different point values to each sport.
How do participants win or achieve the goal?
Participants achieve the goal when their accumulated eligible distance reaches the configured target. Completed participants rank ahead of incomplete participants; among participants in the same completion state, the larger distance ranks higher. You can use a participant target or a team target when team play is enabled later.
How participants track progress
- Leaderboard: see distance, target, completion percentage, completion state, and rank.
- Statistics: follow the cumulative daily distance trend and activity-type breakdown.
- Stream: see each activity's distance contribution and target progress.
- My Activities: verify which activities contributed.
Key configuration options
Goal definition

Eligible activity types
- Include only activities with meaningful distance.
- Select all configured types or a specific subset.
- Review indoor and imported activity coverage.
Optional configuration
Adjust the target for the length of the challenge and the group. You can enable manual entry, GPS sharing, photo proof, join questions, participant-facing rules, a calendar, or team standings. Weekly point caps do not apply to a metric objective.

Common mistakes
- Including Yoga or Fitness when their records do not contain a meaningful distance.
- Setting a target without considering the number of days and expected participation.
- Confusing an open-ended Amount objective with a fixed Goal objective.
