Once registered, you can access the general leaderboard and your individual challenge dashboard.
You have from January 1st, 2026 and until January 31st, 2026, to complete and post all your kilometres.
In there, you will be able to post your activities manually or sync your activities from your sports watch and track your progress and accomplishments.
The tracking platform is not an app you have to download but it is designed to be used on your phone as a website. It is fast and easy to access. You can post your activities manually or connect your sports watch or fitness tracker to track automatically.
If you have an Android device, open the webpage on your phone, and then at the bottom of the screen is a little box with an up arrow. If you click on that and it’ll have “add to home screen” as an option. Then the website will appear as an app on your home screen.
