Julechallenge is a Christmas calendar that challenges you to get moving in December.

You choose how you want complete each daily challenge. You can walk, gog, jog, run, ski, cycle, be outside or inside on a treadmill - it's all up to you! 

You log the session using a smartphone, smartwatch or activity band that supports session logging. You then register the session to confirm that you have participated in today's challenge. Read more about how to register your session under "How do I complete a daily challenge?". 

Don't want to register the time of your session? You can register as "Finisher" without time. Read more about the different options for registering your sessions under "How do I register my sessions?"

HOW TO COMPLETE A DAILY CHALLENGE

Every day we open a new door in the calendar! 

You can find the hatches on "my page". Click on "your Christmas calendar" and you will get the entire calendar. A closed hatch has bow ties on it, an open hatch has no bow ties. The hatch for the next day will be available at 20:00, then you have the opportunity to plan a little how you will carry out the opening the day after. 

The challenge must be completed on the date it applies to and you must register your session before 23:59 on the correct date to be entered into the draw for today's prize.

Start the session on your chosen device and complete the distance in today's challenge.

You must time yourself/log your session. You can do this using a smartphone, smart watch, heart rate monitor or an activity band that supports session logging. This will be your personal "virtual timer". You can also register your challenge without entering a time, see more information further down the page.

Breaks?

Do you have a device that records breaks/pauses? Although your device may record breaks/pauses you take throughout your session, our time system does not! It measures the total time of the session, from start to finish.

Finishing and registering your session

When you have completed the number of kilometers required by the day's slot, you stop the session and save it to your device. You then go to "my page" and to "your Christmas calendar" to register your session.

You can also register your time manually, and if you simply do not want to register your time, you can choose to register completed without time. 

Read everything about how you can register your hatches HERE . 

Will my session be visible to others?

You can choose whether you want to register your time on the challenges you complete. If you choose to register your time, others will see your time in the results list. 

Do I have to register my time?

No, you don't have to. If you do not wish to register a time, you register as "Finished" without a time.

Prize draw

For each door you register, you are entered into the draw for today's prize. If you complete 15 out of 24 doors, you are also in the main draw for 24 December! So here it's just a matter of completing as many doors as you can! 

Of course you can! You simply add up the time of the sessions you have completed to reach the target for today's challenge, and register the total time on your daily challenge using the alternativ for manual time registering. If you do not want to enter a time for your sessions, you register as finished without entering a time.

You will not be able to use any of the other options to record time, as it is not possible to merge two or more logged sessions into one session.

If you complete the the daily challenge in this way, you are still included in the prize draws. Just remember to register the challenge before 23:59 same day!

All smartphones, smartwatches, fitness watches or activity bands that support tracking of sessions can be used.

If you don't have a watch, you can use a smartphone by downloading the Strava app. This is the easiest way to record your runs. Here you can create a profile for free, and you can easily use the app to log your session. At the end of the session, you can easily register the session with time if you wish. 

Read everything about how to register your session under "How do I register my session?". 

When you have completed the number of kilometers required by the day's slot, you stop the session and save it to your device. You then go to "my page" and to "your Christmas calendar" to register your session.

You can also register your time manually, and if you simply do not want to register your time, you can choose to register completed without time. 

Read everything about how you can register your hatches HERE . 

Is the total number of kilometers in your session shorter or longer than the daily challenge required? 

For your time to be true, you must complete the number of kilometers required in the daily challenge. 

If you have moved further than the daily challenge requires, you are fine, the system cuts the session at the correct number of kilometres.

If the session is shorter than the challenge requires, our system will calculate an average time based on the total of your session, and therefore you will not get your true time.

To be entered into the draw for the prizes, you must register your sessions to confirm that you have participated in the challenges in the calendar. You are of course very welcome to sign up for the calendar without registering your sessions, then you are still supporting a good cause! 

You choose whether you want to register your session with or without time. If you register with time, others can see your time in the results list. 

As many people complete the hatches in different ways, we do not have a results list. But you can see who has completed the different hatches in 2023 HERE. If you register your hatch with time, your time will appear in the list. 

If you are a registered team, you can search for your team in the list and see who has completed the different slots. 

For each challenge you complete and register, you will receive a digital "badge" that you can share on your social media, to show that you are participating. 

Want a real medal?
If you want, you can treat yourself to a lovely glass medal as a prize for your efforts at this year's Christmas Challenge! And if you don't want to wear it around your neck, you can hang it on the Christmas tree, as ribbons are included for both parts! 

You can order the medal when you register, or you can order it afterwards on "My page". We will send you the medal by post. It costs 190 NOK if you live in Norway. If you live outside Norway, there will be an additional fee for mailing abroad. 

If you want to receive the medal before Christmas, you must order it by December 14. 

You choose how many doors you want to carry out, but for each one you participate in and register, you are included in the daily draw for a prize from one of our partners. The winners of the daily draws are contacted by email and published on Instagram . 

If you complete and register at least 15 of 24 slots, you will be entered into the main draw after December 24th. There we have a HUGE prize pool with lots of great prizes. See the entire prize pool for 2023 HERE. 

The winners of the main draw will be drawn and announced on Boxing Day (December 27). The winners will be contacted by email and published on Instagram .
