How do I automatically Sync my activities?

Your activities (kilometres) are uploaded from your personal Dashboard in Race Roster.
Each team member records and uploads their own activity and the Race Roster software will track both individual kilometres and total Team kilometres.

Tracking and recording of your activity directly in Runkeeper is the easiest and quickest way to upload your kilometres.

This FAQ covers automatic data syncing via the Runkeeper app to your Race Roster account either by:

a.      Tracking and recording your activity directly on the Runkeeper app (just add the Runkeeper app to your smartphone and record from there), or

b.     Connecting your Garmin device account to your Runkeeper account.

Refer to this FAQ, if you want to manually upload your activities directly into Race Roster.

TRACK YOUR ACTIVITY DIRECTLY IN THE RUNKEEPER APP

You need to connect to Runkeeper at the beginning of the Challenge then all your activities recorded in Runkeeper will automatically flow through to your account for the entire challenge.
