Now that you’ve created your challenge, learn how to invite friends to join!

You can invite your friends to join your challenge 2 different ways:

Directly through the Stridekick mobile app by sending invites to existing friends
Via text or email by sending out a invite link to new users

Please note: You must be the creator of the challenge to invite friends to join.

To start, locate your challenge by:

a. Going to your Dashboard and scrolling down to access your Challenges.
