How MedalMad Challenges Work

Choose a challenge, track your activity, and earn your medal when you complete the distance/challenge.

We have created a community for anyone looking to be more active, without having the hassle of traveling or limiting your activity to someone else’s timetable!

Take part anywhere, at your own pace, using almost any activity. Run, walk, cycle, swim, row, roll, use the gym, or submit time-based activities like dance or Pilates.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

What is a Virtual Challenge?

A virtual challenge lets you complete a set distance or goal at your own pace, in your own time, anywhere in the world. You track your activity using any fitness app or device, submit your progress, and once complete we ship you a beautiful medal as your reward.

Can I walk instead of run?

Absolutely! MedalMad challenges are fully inclusive — you can run, walk, jog, hike, cycle, swim, or use a wheelchair. Any activity that gets you moving counts. We believe everyone deserves to earn a medal.

How do I track my activity?

You can use any fitness app or device you already own — Strava, Garmin Connect, Apple Health, Google Fit, Fitbit, Map My Run, and many more. Then manually add screenshots or link your Strava account.

How long do I have to complete my challenge?

Most challenges give you 12 months (some a bit more) to complete the distance from when you start. You have up to 3 months to start then the countdown will begin. So there’s no pressure to rush. You can complete it in a single effort or accumulate your distance over multiple sessions, it’s entirely up to you.

Where do you ship to?

We ship to over 50 countries worldwide. Once you complete your challenge and submit your evidence, your medal is dispatched and typically arrives within 5–10 working days for UK orders and 10–21 days for international orders.

How much does a challenge entry cost?

Challenges start from £15, with most priced between £15–£25. The price includes the medal, access to the community app, courses, group challenges, mini healthy me challenges, and worldwide shipping. We regularly run promotions so follow us on Facebook to catch the latest deals.

Do I need the app to take part?

No — you can sign up and manage your challenges entirely through the MedalMad website, optimised for mobile. The free app (available on iOS and Android) makes it easier to track progress, connect with the community, and manage your challenge.
