4. Why is my current location displayed incorrectly on the Race map?
This is a virtual race, which means you can take part from wherever you are, you track your steps on the Titans FAM App to compete with other participants on a pre-mapped location course which is not reflective of your actual location. Remember the course is virtual, but the activity is real.
5.What does it mean if you get a ‘Speed Check’?
You have entered an unusually high step count and are being asked to explain how you managed to get it. When submitting your explanation, please account for precise details i.e., type of activity, distance, time, and effort spent on doing the activity and what you did differently to achieve such a high step count during your normal day.
Given the large number of participants involved in each Stepathlon event, please understand this system is in place to ensure participant integrity, and a level playing field for all.
6.What happens when my explanation for a ‘Speed Check’ gets rejected?
When an explanation for a Speed Check has been rejected once, participants get another chance to submit their explanation. In case of a second rejection, they are awarded an event average steps for that day.
7.Some individuals seem to be cheating and moving ahead on the Leaderboard. What is Stepathlon’s view on that? It is demoralizing for those of us who are being honest about our Step Count.
As you know, we ask all Stepathletes to sign our Honour Code before participating in Stepathlon, and request they uphold it with truth and integrity while participating. In addition, we flag Stepathletes who are being less than honest about their activity levels. We have a Speed Check system in place that prevents people from putting in an exorbitant number of steps. Every time they do that, we flag them with a Speed Check and investigate the matter further. While we use this system to identify Stepathletes that may be falsifying their information, we have also identified Stepathletes who are training for marathons or triathlons and are honestly generating high activity levels.
Becoming a Stepathlete is a choice people make to change their lives for the better. While we have contests, challenges and healthy competition as catalysts to help everyone make this change, the benefits (better health, increased energy, higher quality of life, etc.) are for the individual. An individual who fakes a Step Count without truly being active is only cheating themselves and breaking the Honour Code. All Stepathletes who are falsifying their information and moving ahead on the Leaderboard will be denied the real reward of improved wellbeing by way of healthy competition with their colleagues and counterparts all over the world.
In extreme cases, Stepathlon does have the right under its terms and conditions to vary step counts, and to withdraw individuals whose behaviour is not in accordance with the spirit of the event.
Let us assure you, the vast majority of Stepathletes are in the race for the right reasons and are turning their lives around. We hope you will continue to be one of them.
8.If I’m unable to access the internet or traveling for a few days, will I be able to enter my steps retrospectively?
You can enter these steps by visiting the ‘Log Missed Days’ page on the Titans FAM App by clicking on the Main Menu and choosing the ‘Log missed days’ option under ‘Log Activity’ tab once you can access the Titans FAM App, participate in the Race from wherever you are. Remember The She Run Race with the Titans powered by Stepathlon is for Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime.
