About this app

ChallengeRunner.com makes it easy for wellness administrators to create fitness challenges and for participants to submit and review results. The ChallengeRunner Android app takes the process further by letting participants enter, sync, and review challenge data from their smartphone.

To use the app, log in with the same credentials used for the online system (email address + password). All challenges you’re currently participating in will be shown. Select a challenge to view your progress and submit results.

Optional Health Connect sync
If you choose to connect Health Connect, ChallengeRunner can automatically import your activity data to reduce manual entry and keep your challenge progress up to date. With your permission, the app may read:
- Steps
- Distance
- Active calories burned
- Exercise sessions (workouts/active minutes)
- Sleep sessions (sleep duration)

This data is used to update your challenge progress and leaderboard standings within ChallengeRunner. You can disconnect Health Connect or change permissions at any time.

Ratings and reviews

This app is very buggy. It doesn't always sync properly to your tracker, some teammates are showing up multiple times and reducing our teams average score, and you can't always manually fix your steps and have to do it on the desktop website. It freezes a lot when looking at the leaderboard and if you're scrolling on it it constantly closes so you can't view the entire list unless you're only scrolling with the bottom 1/3 of your screen.

I am using the app as part of a challenge. the challenge is based on hours of exercise each quarter. my primary tracker is garmin, I have an aura and some stuff must go thru strava. I'm having a recurring issue of challenger over stating my time. I do multiple types of exercise, swimming, walking, yoga, weights and hiking. something is either double counting or the code isn't grabbing the right fields as it communicates with Garmin, oura or strava. daily I have to manually enter the data.

Our company loves this app and program. Some of the admin features have a learning curve to them. But it was easy to use overall And very simple to I put activity data. We started with a team of 5 And are now rolling the challenges put to a team of 40. I wish there was a way to see individual activity progress from the start of the challenge to the present in a graph, etc. The distance challenge also only showed total points instead of distance on the leaderboard, but still worked for us.
