How do I upload activities?

There are three options for uploading activities:

  1. Manual upload

  2. Automatic data syncing via the Runkeeper app (recommended if you have a Garmin, FitBit or Apple watch)

  3. Track and record your activity directly in Runkeeper (no additional device is required - just add the Runkeeper app to your smartphone and record from there)

If you do not have one of the watches detailed in Option 2, the tracking and recording of your activity directly in Runkeeper is the easiest and quickest way to upload your distance.

For options 2 & 3 you will needs to connect to Runkeeper in your Race Roster dashboard when the event starts.

Each team member records their own activity and the Race Roster software consolidates all the distance into a Team distance.

  1. MANUAL Upload

PLEASE NOTE TO ONLY UPLOAD THE IMAGE OF THE SUMMARY OF DISTANCE COMPLETED AND NOT ROUTE TRAVELLED as the uploaded image will be visible to others.

Navigate to your personal page and click the ‘manual upload’ button.

THE ADD ACTIVITY BUTTON WILL ONLY SHOW AFTER THE EVENT HAS STARTED.

You will need to provide an image of your tracking method such as your smartphone, proving the distance had been completed, then add the time and duration.
