Featured Challenges

Challenges are fun and motivating ways to stay active. MapMyFitness is proud to partner with many companies to allow our members to join these virtual competitions. Compete with other members and claim your spot at the top of the leaderboard. Each challenge comes with different activities, rules, and awards!

How do I join a challenge?

On the Web: To join a challenge and start competing, you must

(1) log into your MapMyFitness account

(2) Join the challenge at https://www.mapmyfitness.com/challenges, or scroll over the “Community” tab from the main menu and click “Challenges.” Once you have officially joined the challenge, workouts recorded that meet the minimum requirements of the challenge are automatically applied to your total.

On mobile: Challenges can be joined by tapping the trophy icon on the bottom menu. Select the challenge you want to participate in and tap Join Challenge. 

How can I see my progress in the challenge?

You can track your progress in the challenge by checking the leaderboard. Leaderboards for each challenge can be found on the challenge’s main page. You can see your placement and percentile compared to other members.

What information of mine is viewable and public to others?

The information collected from members varies for each challenge. Some information displayed on the leaderboard and viewable to other members include Total Workouts, Total Distance, Total Time, and Place (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.). Your personal information, including height, weight, and caloric burn, will never be displayed publicly.

What does it mean if a Challenge only accepts “verified workouts”?

To be considered “verified,” a workout must be recorded with any of the MapMy apps (MapMyRun, MapMyRide, MapMyWalk, MapMyFitness) or via a synchronized device  (running watch, smartphone, GPS device, etc.) that is compatible with MapMyFitness.

Workouts that are manually entered (e.g., through the “log a workout” function of the app or website) are not verifiable and thus do not count toward challenge workout totals. Additionally, editing a verified workout after it has been saved will “unverify” it for challenge purposes. This includes changing the name of your workout or adjusting any workout details.

Why isn’t my workout being recorded in the challenge workout count?

If a workout is not being counted toward your total, it can be due to a few different reasons:

• You haven’t successfully joined the challenge.
• The challenge requires verified workouts, and your workout is not verified. It does not meet the minimum time or mileage specifications for the challenge (refer to the rules for that particular challenge).
• You logged a workout activity type that does not qualify for the specific challenge, e.g., you logged a walk, but only runs are counted in that challenge.
• You have exceeded the daily totals for workouts, time, or distance for that challenge.
• You are trying to import workouts from a device that is incompatible with our platform.

If your workouts adhere to the challenge rules, please submit a request here so that we can investigate the issue further. Be sure to provide specific workout dates/activities for workouts that are not counting, and include screenshots of the current leaderboard and the rules pages.

There are cheaters at the top of the leaderboard; what do I do?

The MapMyFitness challenges are built to be fun and motivating for our users. We recognize that some people try to beat the system by logging fake workouts to be at the top of the leaderboard. We do our best internally to screen challenges and filter suspicious activities. If you see suspicious activity on a challenge leaderboard, you can let us know by submitting a ticket here.
