Don t have a tracking app just yet? The Nike+ Run Club app is available on Google Play and App Store and is the perfect partner for runners of all levels. We also sync with RunKeeper, Strava, Runtastic, Tom-Tom, Suunto, Fitbit, Decathlon Coach, Google Fit, Health Mate, Garmin or Polar.

3 I connected my app, but my activities are not synchronizing. Why? Sometimes the synchronisation is not done automatically and/or takes a little longer than usual. In this case, consider refreshing your page and trying again later. If the problem persists contact us at contact@theiconicsportchallenge.com Can I synchronise more than one app? Of course. The website is set up to allow you to connect as many apps as you want. However, you can not combine your activities recorded by several different applications simultaneously. In this case, one activity will be retained. Do all apps work for all challenges? No. Some apps specialise in running but don t allow a walk as an activity, for example. Check both the capabilities of your chosen app(s) and the challenge activity requirements (e.g. walk, swim, run etc.) to make sure your exercise will be counted towards your challenge goal. How do you make sure people aren t cheating? We are right on top of this. That is why only GPS-tracked activity where the GPS is in operation are used. Similarly, the technology used automatically deletes any activity on a bike, or tracked from in a car. Can I walk instead of run? Yes, when walk is an activity option for the challenge you are entering. THE ICONIC SPORT Challenge is just that a challenge so a lot of exercise goals relate to running. Some challenge goals are exclusively related to running, some challenges allow walking, check each challenge s goal to find out exactly what you have to do.

4 I have no running app or a GPS watch. What can I do? Without an app or a GPS watch, it's not possible to participate. However, there s a very easy fix download one of the many free GPS tracking apps (like Nike+ or Strava) and track your running with your phone.

Can I sync more than one exercise activity in a single day? A run in the morning and a ride to finish off the day? We love your enthusiasm! However, choose which activity you d like to sync very carefully, as you can only sync one activity per day. Why? Technology. The GPS tracking technology underpinning this platform makes it impossible to record more than one exercise activity per day.

5 I usually run on a treadmill. Will my running be counted? Treadmill running is not counted. We rely exclusively on GPS data-tracked activities as GPS tracking is by far the most accurate source of data. Can I enter more than one challenge at any given time?
