Question 1

Do I need a Strava account or another tracker?

Accepted Answer

One connection does it: link Strava (the free tier is fine) and your rides, runs and walks flow in automatically. On the iPhone app you can connect Apple Health instead, no Strava account needed.

Question 2

What activities count towards a rally?

Accepted Answer

You decide when you create the rally. The only requirement is that each activity records a distance. Pick which activity types are allowed, rides, runs, walks, hikes, anything your tracker captures, and the rally counts them.

Question 3

What's the difference between a Conquest and a Casual rally?

Accepted Answer

A Casual rally is for play and friendly competition: Free includes one active Casual rally, paid plans let you run several at once, and everyone ranks on the leaderboard. A Conquest is the achievement. Finish the route in a Conquest and you earn a pace medal, graded on how quickly you got there, and it stamps your passport for life. Free includes one Conquest for life; a paid plan holds one active Conquest per discipline (Walk, Run and Cycle), so each one means something.

Question 4

Can I quit a rally?

Accepted Answer

Yes, at any time. Your contribution stops counting from the moment you leave; everyone else carries on. You can come back to a community rally later if it's still running.

Question 5

Does it work with Garmin or Apple Watch?

Accepted Answer

Not directly, but your activities still count: Garmin, Wahoo and Fitbit devices upload to Strava, and Route Rally reads them from there automatically. Apple Watch workouts can come in through Apple Health on the iPhone app instead. You keep recording with whatever you already use.

Question 6

What happens when my Pro trial ends?

Accepted Answer

The 14-day Pro trial on the web app doesn't ask for a card, so nothing can be charged when it ends: you just drop back to Free and keep everything you've earned. On the iPhone app, Pro is handled through the App Store instead.

Question 7

Can I create a rally for my club?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On the Pro plan you can invite up to 20 participants per rally, which covers most small clubs and teams. Bigger club support is on the roadmap.
