Log your kilometres

Please note: all training kilometres logged will be reset to zero once the event officially begins on 9 November.

You can track your distances two ways:

1. Manually
2. Via a fitness tracker or App

Your user dashboard includes your personal distance tally (default 42km) so you can track your distance towards your kilometre target.

Using a fitness tracker or App

Please note all distances logged before 9 November will be set back to zero before the event officially begins.

If you track your km with Fitbit, MapMyFitness or Strava your distances will automatically add to your tally. But first you’ll need to sync one of these apps to your dashboard. (Note: if your fitness account is set to private, your data won't pull through). 

Follow these steps to track your kilometres automatically:

1. Download the Fitbit, Strava or MapMyFitness app and set up your account
2. Log in to your ‘WalkWest Virtual Landmarks Challenge’ dashboard / account
3. Under the heading ‘Connect your preferred Fitness app’, click your chosen app
4. Follow the prompts to connect your account
5. When you next walk or run, select ‘start your workout’ in the app on your phone (or fitbit device/ smart watch)
6. Once you end your workout, save your workout and your distance will be published to the tally on your page the following day.

If you have synced your app already but it is not working, please log in and re-connect it.

When using Fitbit

You must 'start' an activity and save it. Your daily steps will not automatically add to your page. If you are having issues, try syncing through both your Fitbit and the Fitbit app on your smartphone.

When using MapMyFitness

You must ‘start’ your workout, ‘stop’ your workout and then ‘save’ your workout.  Your tally will be updated each day with the previous day’s distances.
