Can I share my result after submissions close?

Yes! Once the submission window closes, results become final and the sharing feature is unlocked. You can then generate a shareable image of your result and post it.

Example use-case

A local cycling club runs a Saturday segment challenge. The organizer publishes one public event page, riders sync their own attempts during the available submission window, and everyone who raced and submitted can review their results, provided the creator has not deleted the party.

The same flow works for running clubs and mixed multisport communities that want one simple event result page.

FAQ

What files can I upload?

Stage setup supports GPX, TCX, and FIT track files.

Can I reuse saved stages?

Yes. Load saved stages from the Stages workspace and use them in a new party without recreating the course.

Can I include more than one segment?

Yes, use multi-stage mode and get stage + overall rankings.

What do participants need?

A regular account and one sync action to submit their effort.

Do participants need to upload anything manually?

Creating a party currently requires uploading a GPX, TCX, or FIT route file to define the stages. Strava is demo-only for now and generates synthetic data.

Why do I need to use an actual recorded track to create a Party?

We believe this is the best way to ensure challenges are authentic and routes are verified and ridable, not just virtual. This guarantees higher challenge quality, where the creator takes responsibility for their events!

Are rewards available in every Party?

No. Rewards are an optional feature that the Party creator can enable for their event. If rewards are enabled, you will see corresponding information on the event page.

How can I win a reward in a Party?

If the creator has enabled rewards, they will be unlocked after the submission window closes and the challenge criteria are met (e.g., reaching the required number of participants). Once the party ends, qualifying winners will receive instructions on how to claim their reward.

How long can a challenge last?

As long as the creator sets it for the Party.

How long can users submit results?

As long as the creator sets the submission window in the Party.

Why can’t I load Strava results yet?

Strava result loading is still limited by current API access, so the sync flow runs in demo mode and generates synthetic results until higher limits are approved.

Can I share this with non-technical users?

Yes, the public page and QR flow are intentionally simple.

Can I sync data from cloud services?

Yes. You can sync route files from Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive, so the best practice is to keep your GPS files in one chosen cloud service and avoid storing other sensitive data there for security reasons. We request full access, but we only look for GPS files!

How accurate is your GPS track time?

It is good enough for fun route challenges, but not chip-timing accurate. Results depend on the device and track quality. A clean track is usually close, while signal loss, pauses, and low sampling can add a few seconds or more.
