Community rallies

Virtual cycling, running and walking community rallies

Every community rally is a shared challenge along a real-world route. Most are free to join, and some are for Standard and Pro members. Your eligible rides, runs or walks carry you along it, and a live leaderboard ranks everyone taking part.

What is a community rally?

A community rally is a time-boxed challenge you join from Explore, with no invite. Most are open to anyone with a Route Rally account, and some are for Standard and Pro members. It maps a real-world route onto your own activity: every eligible ride, run or walk you record counts towards your distance along it, and the leaderboard updates as activities arrive. Each rally has a fixed start and end date, so the whole group takes the route on together.
