Getting Started
How do I keep track of the miles I've done?
Your profile page shows your personal distance total, making it easy for you to track your progress towards your goal and share updates with friends along the way. You can log your miles using any tracking app on your phone, though we recommend using apps like Strava, Fitbit, or Garmin Connect for the best experience. Or using our physical tracker sent to you in the post which you can update manually on your profile.
