Virtual races: run anywhere, the watch submits the result

Runners connect their watch once. Every run after that syncs automatically, is checked against the race rules, and runners see right away which runs count and why.

You set the race rules

  • Challenge

    Accumulate distance within the race window (1 to 2,000 km), or complete a distance in a single run (1 to 300 km). The window follows Vietnam time.

  • Activity types

    Outdoor running, trail, walking and hiking, treadmill. You choose which ones count.

  • Validity rules

    Minimum distance per run, pace range, maximum runs per day (the longest ones are kept).

  • Watches

    Garmin. Suunto and COROS coming soon.

  • Controlled manual entry

    Up to 30% of the target distance, photo proof required, always reviewed by the organizer.

  • Leaderboard

    Per distance, updated within 2 minutes, searchable by name or bib number. Runners can choose to hide their name.

  • Certificate

    Appears as soon as the goal is reached, with a provisional rank. It becomes official when the organizer finalizes results.

  • Multiple packages

    Sell several packages for the same distance, for example certificate only, or with a medal.

Watch data belongs to the runner. We only read runs, walks and hikes. Never sleep or weight. Runners can disconnect at any time.

Virtual race questions

Which watches work?

Garmin. Suunto and COROS are coming soon. Without a watch, runners can enter up to 30% of the target distance by hand, with photo proof.

Do treadmill runs count?

That’s up to the organizer. When setting up the race, you choose which activity types count.

Do you use Strava?

No. Runs come straight from the watch.

How are medals shipped?

Once results are final, the system lists the finishers whose package includes a medal, with their addresses. Runners can see when their medal has been sent.

What about cheating?

Runs with no GPS, or edited on the watch, are not rejected outright; they are held for the organizer to review. Runs outside the race’s pace range don’t count, and the reason is shown.
