See how teams progress across the map using average distance and learn how to choose the right per-person race goal.

Teams race across a map using fair, average-based scoring

Team Virtual Race Mode combines the fun of map-based visual progress with the fairness of team averaging.

Each participant moves across the race route individually, and team progress is calculated using the average total distance per member β€” ensuring teams of all sizes compete equally.

It’s ideal for groups that want a shared journey with strategic teamwork.


🎯 What Team Virtual Race Measures

Team Virtual Race measures:

  • Total individual distance

  • Averaged across all team members to determine team progress along the map.


πŸ“ What Goal You’ll Set

You set a total individual distance goal, such as:

  • 50 miles per member

  • 60 miles per member

  • 100 miles per member

This is important:

In Team Virtual Race, the goal is always individual β€” never combined totals.

Since teams compete by average, each person must have a realistic goal they can individually reach by the challenge end.


πŸ“ How to Choose the Right Distance

Formula

Individual Distance Goal =
Daily Miles Γ— Challenge Days

Baselines

2–5 miles/day

Examples

  • 14 days Γ— 2.5 = 35 miles

  • 30 days Γ— 3 = 90 miles


πŸ“Š Recommended Distance Ranges

🧠 How Scoring Works

Team averaging uses this formula:

Team Average Distance = (Sum of all members’ distances) Γ· (Team size)

Teams advance on the map based on their average β€” not their collective distance.

This prevents larger teams from overpowering smaller ones.


πŸ“ Example Setup

  • Map: City Run

  • Goal: 60 miles per person

  • Max Team Size: 5

  • Daily Activity Cap: 10 miles/day
    ​


πŸ’‘ Best For

  • Groups who love story-based or themed routes

  • Department competitions

  • Seasonal β€œrace” events

  • Multinational or remote teams

  • Longer challenges (21–45 days)

Teams love cheering each other on as everyone contributes to the average.
