Frequently Asked Questions - Taking Part

Take a look through all our virtual challenges, over 200 to choose from.
 
Sign up to your challenge by going through the checkout process.
 
As soon as you sign up your challenge will appear in your My Challenges section on both the app and the website.
 
Open your challenge and you will see a Submit button. Click this and add your activity, which could be a single activity or you could use a weekly summary from your favourite app. You can even link your Strava accounts and just click the activities you want to submit.
 
Soon as you submit the map will update and you will have moved along the route. 
 
If you pass a Waypoint it will turn from Bronze to Silver. This means it can be opened. Once you have opened the waypoint it will turn to gold. Then the next one will become available once you pass it.
 
When you reach the end of the challenge it will turn Gold.
 
You will then get an email once the challenge has been approved and another when it is sent. We try to send reward within 3 working days. This depends on amount of submissions to process, shipping date of the challenge and general things like staff sickness and holidays.
 
Thats it, really simple. Just make sure you enter your information correctly, but if you make an error just click on History in the Submit section and delete the incorrect entry.
 
Good luck.
 
Please see below information for when we send medals and rewards;
 
MedalMad
MedalMad challenges have their medals and rewards sent when you complete your challenge. We aim to process this and ship your medal within 3 working days. 
 
MedalKids
All Medalkids rewards, and all shop items, are sent on purchase. For the MedalKids virtual challenges you will still have an online challenge but you will have the rewards in advance to hand them out to the mini challengers as they complete their challenge.
 
Ultimate Challenge
The awards for completing Ultimate Challenges are sent out on completion of the challenge.
Milestones/Waypoints are markers on the maps. Once you have passed the milestone you will be able to open it by clicking on the marker.
 
To open the waypoint just press the waypoint marker and what is inside will appear. This is a mixture of information, videos, quizzes, mini challenges, images and more. They vary from challenge to challenge in number and content.
 
You need to complete the waypoint by pressing the COMPLETE button on the final page.
 
The waypoint may have more than one section so press the CONTINUE button until you see the COMPLETE button. 
 
Once you press the COMPLETE button the waypoint/milestone will turn gold and open up the next one, if you have passed it.
 
They work in order so you need to pass the waypoint and have opened all previous waypoints.
 
BRONZE = LOCKED
 
SILVER = UNLOCKED
 
GOLD = COMPLETED

This is correct. You will have once challenge and all medals for that challenge will be sent on completion.

If you need on transferred please contact us.

Please note if you place an order for multiple challenges the total cost may be over the threshold but as they are sent seperatley each one would be under the threshold. If you have not imported any items before and not sure where to look then please let us know. We have access to a system that provides up to date tax and duty info for every country so we can check for you.
 
We are not liable for any import taxes and duties applied by your country.
