This is a Combo Challenge. Here's how to earn your points:
Join the challenge and run anywhere: along or up! Every point you earn during October gives you one entry into the prize draw. Anyone can win, but the more challenge points you earn, the better your chances!
One lucky person will win 13 weeks of free coaching with Alta Trail Coaching. With more than 30 years’ experience and some 90,000 trail kms under his belt, Mal has decided to share his passion and wisdom with you (yes, you!) — the adventurous trail runner who is looking to step outside your comfort zone, set big goals, and experience the joy of knocking them off!
No worries — you can join a Wild Challenge at any time while it's running.
When you join, we'll automatically award any challenge points you've earned since the challenge started, so you won't miss out just because you joined late.
If you've only just connected Strava or Garmin, we'll sync your last three months of activities too, so eligible activities can still count towards the challenge.
Connect your Strava or Garmin account to Wild Things and we'll automatically sync your activities and add any that qualify to the challenge.
You don't need to add activities manually — just get out there and do your thing! Each challenge has its own criteria for earning points, so check the challenge details above to see what counts.
If you use both Strava and Garmin, you can connect both — we won't create duplicate activities.
Absolutely. You can join as many Wild Challenges as you like, and the same activity can earn points across multiple challenges if it meets the criteria for each one.
We usually draw challenge winners a few days after the challenge finishes. We wait at least 2–3 days to allow any late activities to sync from Strava or Garmin before finalising the results.
If you're a winner, we'll get in touch with you directly.
