January Distance Challenge

If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

How far can you walk, run and hike in a single month? Join the global Pacer community and challenge yourself before time runs out.

⚠️ Note: the maximum that will count toward this challenge each day is 50 km / ~31 miles, and each week is 200 km / ~124 miles.

To ensure fairness, pedometer sensitivity will automatically be set to default for all users who join this competition (this applies to Android only).

All users who participate in this event are eligible to earn exclusive badges. Milestone badges will be awarded for any participant who reaches 50 km, 100 km, 200 km and 300 km (31, 62, 124 and 186 miles).

Tiebreaker: in the event of an even score, the first tiebreaker will be the amount of distance tracked using GPS walk, run and hike activities (up to a maximum of 25 km/day or 15.5 miles/day). In the event that scores are still tied, the second tiebreaker will be total LIKES (hearts) from your competition ranking and from your competition posts. Competition posts are limited to 1 post per competition per day, so try to make each post meaningful and interesting. Get moving and share the love with the Pacer community!

No purchase or payment is necessary to participate. Simply join the challenge within the Pacer app.
