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 or Garmin account. For more information on connecting with Strava or Garmin, please read this article.

Check out each specific challenge page to learn the criteria and how to earn leaderboard points for that challenge.

In the interest of openness and fairness, purposefully hiding activities during a challenge period until the end, or purposefully splitting the same activity into multiple (by stop-starting your watch for example) is not permitted as this is not in the spirit of what a challenge represents, and prevents all other members from being able to compete openly.

Purposefully hiding or splitting activities until the end may result in those points not being included.
