Step Challenges are here! Challenge Hound now supports step-based AND activity-based challenges. Set goals, track progress, and compete your way — every step counts.
Challenge Hound makes staying active more fun by doing it together. Create challenges with friends, coworkers, teams, or your community and stay motivated with shared progress, cheering, and friendly competition. Sync your favorite fitness apps, track achievements, and celebrate milestones together.
Challenge Hound is also great for charity and fundraising challenges, helping groups rally around a shared cause while moving more.
Use Challenge Hound to run individual or team challenges. Track distance, duration, elevation, or total activities. Set goal-based challenges like “100 miles this month,” or open challenges like “as much as possible in 30 days.” Each challenge includes personalized progress tracking, charts, leaderboards, and an activity feed for motivation, photos, and celebrations. Optional maps allow you to visualize progress along real routes.

Stay active. Stay connected. Stay motivated — together.
The app has been super easy to use over the past several months. However, in the last couple weeks, I haven’t been able to share images in the feed - “post” button disappears when I attach an image. But it’s otherwise been great, and a fun way to stay active with my remote coworkers.
Great motivator

Large group of friends used the app to get motivated for a Spartan race. All of us are a competitive sort and the app allowed us to get the ball rolling early and helped many of us get in the shape we needed to finish the course! Liked the automatic updates form other tracking apps, so I didn't have to key on every workout. Also liked the kudos after each workout. Will use it again.
Fabulous Fitness Tracker!

Myself and a group of friends used the Challenge Hound app to train for a Spartan race, the app was a great motivator and keep everyone accountable. The app was very easy to use as it synced right up to my Garmin, strongly recommend.
