HOW DO YOU FINISH YOUR CHALLENGE?
In short, this is how you complete your challenge:
HOW TO REGISTER THE TIME FOR YOUR DISTANCES
When signing up you received one confirmation e-mail for each distance in your challenge, with log ins to an individual my page for each distance. You do not have to log on to each one of them. You can log on to my page using just one of the log ins you received, and once you have logged in you can navigate between all your pages.
This is how you do it:
There are five options you can choose from to register your time:
Please read this instruction on how to register your time, and find more information about how RaceConnect works.
*Are you connecting to Garmin Connect or Polar? Read the guide before you start your race!
Anywhere! Find the course of your choice. Do you want a fast track, challenging track, do you have a favorite place to run? You can even run around your house, in your backyard, on a treadmill – literally anywhere.
But – if you want to compete for one of the spots on the podium there are some rules you need to follow:
Due to Covid-19 we are awaiting opening the registration for running croups. But, if the situation changes we will open up the entries. Follow us on facebook og instagram to keep informed.
Yes! We will e-mail you your own personal race number. You will receive a PDF you can print and also a cool image for sharing on your social media account.
It’s up to you what time you start. We just require that you start after 00:00 hours on the 25th of December and finish before 23:59 hours on the 31st of December 2020.
Start a session and run your chosen distance.
Your smart phone, smart watch, fitness watch or activity tracker is your personal “virtual timing chip”.
NOTE! You have to run the correct amount of kilometres
When you reach the total amount of kilometers you have chosen to run you stop the session – and this is important! You must run the total amount of kilometres for your timing to be true. Example; if you are running the Half Marathon, you have to run 21.1 kilometers. If you run too short our system will calculate an average time based on the total time and distance of your race and you will not get your real time. (If you run too far you’ll be OK – it cuts the race at the correct amount of kilometres).
Pause?
Please also note, that even though your watch or phone deducts pauses you may have taken during your session, our system does not. It measures the total time of your race from from start to finish.
Finish and registration
When you finish your race you store it on your device. To register you log on to “My Page” and press “my time”. Here you can simply link to your Strava-account. We also support session file import for GPX, TCX and FIT formats – so if you use other platforms or compatible devices nothing is holding you back from joining the party!
Do you not want to register your time?
You can finish the race, and registert without time. Just press the “Finished-button” on my page. Your name will be on the result list, but your timing will not.
Want to race for one of the spots on the podium?
There are some rules you must follow:
Any smart phone, smart watch, fitness watch or activity tracker that supports track logging, like Suunto, Garmin, Polar, Apple Watch, Fitbit etc.
Strava offers free memberships, and you can use the app on your phone to track your race. You do not need a watch or activity tracker.
No, we do not have a cut-off time in our virtual races. You decide your pace, and you can walk, jog or run. But you have to start and finish between 25th and 31st of December 2020
Please note that we will double check the times for suspisiously fast runners as well as all top 20 runners.
