Before you begin:
Each person who wants to join the team must have their own entry for the challenge, either purchased or gifted. Team members who don’t want a medal can purchase a Digital-Only entry. A join code can only be used by one person, and a team code cannot be used as a join code.
Each person must join the challenge.
When you form a team, the distances you and your team members post will be added together. Your team icon will advance along the path each time a team member posts a distance.
Once the challenge is complete, each team member will be able to redeem their own medal.
Our virtual races and some of our limited time challenges can't be completed as a team.
How to create a new team:
After joining a challenge go to that challenge's map.
Expand the bottom drawer by tapping the up arrow or swiping it up.
Keep swiping up to reveal the Challenge settings and select Team.
Select create a team.
Enter the team name.
Choose an image (optional).
Tap save and close.
Once you’ve created your team, you can:
Edit your team via the pencil icon.
Delete your team via the trash icon.
Copy your team code to send to your team members.
See the people on your team.
The person who created the team is the captain and will have a (C) next to their name.
Step-by-step guide:
How to join an existing team:
You'll need the team code from your captain. (A team code is not a replacement for a join code.)
After joining a challenge, go to that challenge's map.
Expand the bottom drawer by tapping the up arrow or swiping it up.
Keep swiping up to reveal the Challenge settings and select Team.
Select join existing team.
Enter the team code (provided by your team captain).
Tap join team.
Does everyone on the team need to pay? Can we share one join code or one medal?
Every person on a team needs their own entry to the challenge. A join code can only be used once, by one person. It can’t be shared, and a team code can’t be used instead of a join code.
If some team members don’t want a medal, they can buy a Digital-Only entry. They can join the challenge and the team, and log distances like everyone else, but they won’t get a physical medal at the end.
For example: a team of four wants just one medal. One person buys a challenge entry with a medal. The other three each buy a Digital-Only entry. All four join the challenge, and then join the same team using the captain’s team code.
There is no way to join a challenge or a team for free.
