About

Burn 500 calories today and pocket your share. A perfect one-day challenge to get moving and win.

How it works

  1. 1
    Hit the goal

    Reach 500 kcal in total before the challenge ends. Your activity adds up across the whole window.

  2. 2
    Join any time

    Jump in before or during the challenge, right up to the end date. The finish line is the same for everyone, so the sooner you start, the more time you have to reach it.

  3. 3
    Record your workouts

    Only recorded workouts count (start one on your watch or fitness app). Passive phone-in-pocket activity does not. A wearable is strongly recommended.

  4. 4
    Win your share

    Everyone who hits the goal splits the pool equally. The $126 pool is guaranteed, and if entries exceed it, it grows even bigger. It's not a race, finish and you win.

What you need to participate

Calories challenge

Apple Health
Health Connect
  • Calorie tracking needs heart rate data to be accurate. A wearable with a heart rate sensor is strongly recommended.
  • Phone-only workouts produce rough calorie estimates and may under-report significantly.
  • Calories only count from RECORDED workouts. Idle calories do not contribute.
  • Open the Stride app on your phone to finish connecting your data sources. Tracking runs in the background through Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect.
