Scoring Guide: Leaderboard and Team Challenge Modules

Here’s how scoring works in some of Stridekick’s most competitive challenge formats—including individual and team-based modules. Scroll to the bottom for quick answers to frequently asked scoring questions!

The Leaderboard module ranks participants from highest to lowest based on their total steps, distance, or active minutes over the course of the challenge so far.

Your total = The sum of your daily steps, distance, or minutes for each day of the challenge to date.

The Team Leaderboard ranks teams by their average total activity (steps, distance, or minutes). We use averages to ensure fairness between teams of different sizes.

Total Team Steps = 550,000
​Team Members = 3
​Average = 550,000 ÷ 3 = 183,333 steps

The Team Virtual Race is scored just like the Team Leaderboard—but it uses distance instead of steps or minutes.

Total Team Distance = 190 miles
​Team Members = 3
​Average = 190 ÷ 3 = 63.33 miles

Yes. If a teammate isn’t syncing data, their zero will be included in the team’s average. Every team member’s totals count.

Stridekick pulls up to 30 days of data, but challenges only actively score the last 7 days.
​

If you haven’t synced in over a week, your device data may update in your account but not count toward the challenge.
​Tip: Sync daily to keep your challenge score accurate.

When you join a challenge, Stridekick will score your last 7 days of activity, regardless of when the challenge started.
​

That’s why it’s best to join early and sync often!

Yes—within the 72-hour grace period.
​

All Stridekick challenges include a 3-day window after the challenge ends to allow final syncing.
​

After that, all scores are final.
