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

👯‍♂️ You can invite your friends to join your challenge in 3 different ways: 

  1. Directly through the Stridekick mobile app by sending invites to existing friends

  2. Via text or email by sending out an invite link to new users

  3. Through a user-generated code.

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

ℹ️ Challenges are limited to 10 participants for free users, so you can send up to 9 invites. Need more? → Explore Stridekick Pro

🔎 First, Find Your Challenge:

  • From your Dashboard, scroll down to locate your challenge

  • Or tap the Challenges tab in the bottom navigation bar

📱 Option 1: Invite Existing Friends in the App

To use this method, you’ll need to be already friends with users on Stridekick. Learn how to add friends.

Please follow these steps below to invite your existing friends to your challenges:

  1. Select your challenge from the Dashboard or Challenges tab.

  2. Tap the three dots (⋯) in the top right to open the menu

  3. Tap the Invite friends to challenge button.

  4. Scroll or search your friends list and tap Invite

  5. When you’re finished inviting users, tap Done to go back to your challenge view.

💡 These instructions apply to challenges that have already started. Click here for instructions on inviting users to upcoming challenges.

🔗 Option 2: Inviting New Users with an Invite Link

Don’t have friends on Stridekick yet? No problem! Share your Invite Link so others can join.

Please follow the steps below to invite new users to join your challenge:

  1. Select your challenge from the Dashboard or Challenges tab.

  2. Click on the three dots (⋯) to pull up the Challenge Menu.

  3. Tap the View challenge details button.

  4. Scroll to the bottom of the page.

  5. Click Copy to copy the invite link, and Ok.

6. Next, paste your invite link into a text or email to send to your friends. Add a fun message to share your excitement for your upcoming challenge! 

7. Your job is done! Now it's up to your friends and family to click the invite link you shared to create an account. Once they've created an account, they should be automatically added to your challenge since they joined via your unique invite link.

✍️ Option 3: Invite friends to join using a challenge code

Can’t open your invite link? Or just want a quicker way to join? You can now join any Stridekick challenge directly from the app using a unique Challenge Code!

Please make sure your app is up to date to take advantage of this feature.

The Challenge Code is the unique string of letters and numbers at the end of every challenge invite link.

For example, if your invite link looks like this:

https://www.stridekick.com/challenges/join/W2KDJ39SN0

Then your Challenge Code is: W2KDJ39SN0

Please follow the steps below to invite new users to join your challenge using a challenge code:

  1. Open the Stridekick app and make sure you're on the latest version.

  2. From the bottom navigation bar, tap Challenges.

  3. Tap the 🔍 Search icon at the top of the screen.

  4. Enter your Challenge Code and tap Join Challenge.

  5. That’s it—you’re in!

🧠 What If the Code Doesn’t Work?

  • Double-check the code—make sure there are no typos

  • The challenge might already be over or hasn’t started yet

  • If it still doesn’t show up, reach out to Support (tap the chat icon)

👀 Need Help Finding the Code?

Ask your challenge organizer to share their invite link—you can pull the code from the very end.

If you're a Pro Organizer and need help locating a code, reach out to your Stridekick Success Team.
