Moving together

Moving is more fun when everyone joins in.

The Checkpoint Challenge turns any route into a group experience, whether on foot, by bike or in hiking boots: scan QR codes along the way, compare times live and reach the finish together. Even when the network drops out.

Exercise that connects

The challenge turns a route into a shared experience, for teams, clubs, companies and groups of friends.

Together, not alone

Every challenge is a reason to get moving together. Whether two of you or 30 people: everyone starts together and cheers each other on.

Fun before personal bests

The leaderboard adds excitement, but the experience comes first. Discovering checkpoints feels like a scavenger hunt.

Everyone can join in

Hiking, running, cycling or another sport entirely: everyone moves at their own pace and still sees where the group is right now.

How a challenge works

Four steps, no account: every group can get started right away.

  1. Scan your bib number

    At the start, everyone scans their personal code. The phone remembers the number.

  2. Head out together

    The map shows the route and the next checkpoint, so nobody has to search for the way.

  3. Scan the checkpoints

    Scan the QR code at every station. Time and position are recorded instantly.

  4. Cheer each other on

    Participants, helpers and spectators see the rankings live and cheer along.

What the challenge can do

Built for groups of around 30 people who can't count on a network along the way.

Live leaderboard

Rankings and progress update in real time, without reloading.

Spectator link

Family and friends cheer along live, without logging in and without scanning.

Works offline

Scans are stored on the phone and sent automatically as soon as there is a network again.

GPS check

A scan only counts near the station. Forwarded photos won't help.

Fair times

Unusual sections are flagged after the run. Fast participants are not suspected, only breaks in their own pace.

Map with GPX route

The route and all checkpoints appear on a map, added in the admin area as a GPX file.

Your branding

Logo and colours per event, plus your own address such as autumn-run-2026.your-domain.com.

Overview for organisers

Who is on the way, who has finished, where is someone stuck? Secured with multi-factor login.

What it looks like

One main action per screen, large text, few distractions. Made for phones on the move.

Branding per event

Every event gets its own look

You set the logo, colours and even the names of the checkpoints for each event. Plain timekeeping becomes, for example, an animal hunt for children where they find the fox den, the wolf cave and the owl tree.

  • Your own colours and logo
  • Your own names instead of numbers for the checkpoints
  • Your own address, e.g. animal-hunt.your-domain.com
