Everything you need to know about:
The 2023 Adventure Sports Virtual Challenge
This year we have teamed up with The Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis, an amazing organization that puts on an 80 mile endurance race from Bimini to Florida inspired by the incredible health benefits of the ocean for those living with cystic fibrosis. All donations go directly to them and we have included a portion where individual fundraising as you hit the water is possible to generate as much awareness for the cause.

Load Activity from File: RunSignup now supports the ability for participants to submit their virtual results by uploading their GPS activity recorded while using third party types of tracking tools. Participants record their activities for Virtual Events on a multitude of devices and platforms. Two very common formats of data are GPX, TCX and FIT, which services like Garmin and Strava use to store activity data.
We now give users the ability to quickly and easily enter in their activity data by selecting a GPX or FIT file from their computer. Their personalized data will automatically fill in, including the Distance, Date, Elevation Gain, and Time fields from the activity file being submitted.
This feature is available to all users without any need to enable it on the back end. Participants will see a Load Activity from File button while logging their Activity which they can click to open up a panel to submit a file. How-to export to GPX, FIT, TCX links are below.
**More than One Division Participants**
The dropdown will list all the divisions you are in. Remember to log for the sport you are doing on that day.
**Ultimate Trifecta Participants**
Log your time and miles under the individual sports. Once you entered the trifecta you are automatically in each division and eligible for the individual prize as well.
You can also manually grab a file from a Garmin device itself by following these instructions:
- Hit Browse
- Navigate to /Garmin/Garmin/activities
- Select the appropriate activity file ending in .fit
- This is just one of the many ways participants can submit virtual results
To see the leaderboard and see where you stack up against your opponents, choose from the dropdown the division you are in!
