One for the mild things!
Petrol is up and time is down. Can’t get to the hills? Go local!
What’s an urban/urban fringe trail?
There are four Wild Things run settings: urban, urban fringe, front country and back country.
Urban is any mostly offroad path or trail that’s in town.
Urban fringe is within spitting distance of town.
You’ll find the run setting on the trail page under ‘Type of Run’. You can search the directory for urban/urban fringe runs using the search filters.
No urban/urban fringe trails in your area? Want heaps of bonus points?
Submit one! We’ve been told that the directory could do with more “easy” trails on the doorstep. This is your chance to add some. (And get 10 bonus points. And get $10 shop credit.)
* Bonus points are awarded once your trail is approved (this may take a little time). Some submissions may not be accepted — especially if similar routes already exist.
You must run your submitted trail during the challenge period. Include your Strava or Garmin activity link when submitting (look for the Your Strava or Garmin Activity Link field) so we can award points once approved.
This one’s purely for the glory of the leaderboard.
It’s good to be mild!
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.
