Earning points on a Wild Challenge leaderboard will depend on the type and criteria of the challenge, but as an example, you would earn one point for every kilometre run in a distance flash challenge, or for every peak summited in a peak challenge, or for every trail run in a collection challenge.
For challenges following trails in the trail directory, points are often awarded based on the grunt factor of the trail; the harder the trail you complete, the more points are awarded.
We keep track of your progress by receiving activity data from your Strava account.
