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.

No, we are IOSS registered so we pay the tax you pay at checkout into the EU VAT system on your behalf. This mean you do not have to pay the import (VAT) tax, and more importantly the high customs fees to manage the 1 or 2 Euro tax. 
 
If you are mistakenly charged by your countries customs agency please advise them that Import Tax has been paid already. You will need to provide our IOSS number. You will find our IOSS number on you invoice. To access this please go to My Profile –> Challenge Orders. It is present on any invoice.
 
We are not able to make claim on your behalf and we sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. We are registered and we are sending them fully compliant with the new EU IOSS system.
 
We appreciate some companies send items marked as gifts. This is fraud and it the importer (the customer) that can face fines for this.
 
MedalMad
Our medals ship to most countries well below the threshold. There are some exceptions and we would advise you check on your local government website for these thresholds. 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. 

We use Royal Mail and their network as our shipping partner. If they ship to your country so can we. If you destination is not in the options at checkout please get in touch, you may be the first from your country. We ship to over 38 countries every week.

UK – Please allow 10 working days (mon-fri) from the day of your Shipped email

Rest of the World – Please allow 28 working days (mon-fri) from the day of your Shipped email.

All claims MUST  be made within 6 months of the Shipped email. After that we would not be able to assist as all shipping partners set this time limit.
