UpRace is a community app designed for sports enthusiasts. It accurately records users' exercise data, including steps, pace, and distance, and allows users to share their workouts in the community, earning likes from friends. Users can freely create sports competitions and set their own rules, attracting users from all over the world to join and earn rich rewards. As users increase their mileage within the app, they will continuously improve their level and earn corresponding honors, competing against other users on the leaderboard. The app supports multiple activity types and provides a tiered mission system that starts with short daily sessions of around fifteen minutes. Participants collect boxes to outfit an avatar, unlock Journey Pass rewards through experience points, and contribute to team totals even if personal contest goals are not met. Performance is calculated from valid activities recorded by mobile devices or compatible GPS watches, with results validated within seventy-two hours and meeting pace and distance criteria.
How does UpRace validate recorded activities for events?
Activities must be completed and displayed on the user's account within seventy-two hours of the start time and no later than the event's final day. The route map must show no critical GPS errors, and manually imported or shared results from other accounts are not accepted. Treadmill runs require synchronization from a fitness tracker or smart watch such as Garmin. Duplicate recordings from multiple devices at the same time count as one activity, with priority given to sources including Apple Watch, Garmin, Suunto, Coros, Fitbit, and Polar over the app itself. A minimum distance of one kilometer applies, with no upper limit, and average moving pace must fall between three minutes thirty seconds and fifteen minutes per kilometer, with no one-kilometer split faster than three minutes.
What rules apply to completing a contest or earning double results?
A runner completes the contest by achieving at least twelve valid days and a minimum distance of sixty kilometers, including any doubled achievements on Sundays or special days. Activities on Sundays during the event period must finish before midnight that day to receive double credit. Achievement dates are counted on the day the activity starts. Runners who do not meet the twelve-day or sixty-kilometer thresholds still have their completed kilometers contributed to their team and any sponsored social organization. Active days are defined as dates with at least one valid run meeting all listed conditions.
How do users form teams, switch participation, or join events after the start date?
Teams can be formed after the initial start date and still participate as long as formation occurs before the event ends. Forming a team before or after the official running start only affects competitive positioning within divisions. Each participant may select only one team to accumulate points for during the event. Switching teams is not permitted once the event has begun at midnight on the start date; changes are allowed only before that time. Individuals who do not join any team still have their performance recorded and recognized on personal leaderboards and for individual rewards.
How do levels, missions, avatars, and community features connect to daily exercise?
The tiered mission system scales from simple to challenging tasks based on the user's health and training level, encouraging consistent activity starting at fifteen minutes per day. Completing missions grants experience points that unlock Journey Pass rewards and raise the user's level, which in turn determines honors displayed on leaderboards. Users collect boxes to customize avatar outfits and equipment that improve health statistics and reward rates. Exercise data can be shared directly with friends and teammates, supporting the formation of running communities where participants like posts and join events with custom rules or valuable prizes.
