Your profile page includes your personal distance tally so you can track your distance towards your target. This is a great way to keep your friends updated on your workouts!

If you track your workouts with Fitbit, MapMyFitness or Strava your distances will automatically add to your tally. Please be aware that it can take a couple of hours for the leaderboard to update with your new total distance. 

Follow these steps to track your KMs automatically:

1. Download the Fitbit, Strava or MapMyFitness app and set up your account

2. Log in to your Tour de LandAid account.

3. Under the heading ‘Connect your preferred Fitness app’, click your chosen app.

4. Follow the prompts to connect your account. Please make sure to grand read permissions. 

5. When you next work out, select ‘start your workout’ in the app on your phone. Once you end your workout, save your workout and your distance will be published to the tally on your page the following day.

If you have synced your app already but it is not working, please log in and re-connect it.

When using MapMyFitness, you must ‘start’ your workout, ‘stop’ your workout and then ‘SAVE’ your workout.

When using Fitbit, you must ‘start’ an activity and save it. Your activity will not automatically add to your page. If you are having issues, try syncing through BOTH your Fitbit and the Fitbit app on your smartphone.

Your tally will be updated each day with the previous day’s distances.

Remember, you can manually add your kilometres to the tally in your My Fitness Activity tab of your profile after registering. This is a great option if you’re using a pedometer or a different method of tracking your distances.

Follow these steps to manually add your KMs:

1. Log in to your account and select ‘My Fitness Activity’

2. Under ‘Add activity’, enter the date and distance

3. The number of KMs will now appear on your fundraising page!

It’s £50 per person to sign up, and this includes your own bespoke Tour de LandAid cycling jersey and an invite to our post-event celebratory drinks

These daily stage distances give you a daily aim to complete the distance of the Tour de France as a team. As you complete them, each of the badges on your team fundraising page will go black. If you don't complete the daily distance one day that won't mean you can't continue - you can always try to reach the distance for the next day!

Let us know and we will do what we can to match you with other cyclists. Get in touch via events@landaid.org

Yes, absolutely! You can rack up the miles on a static bike, spin bike, turbo trainer or out and about on your bike. This handy article explains different ways to track distance on your turbo trainer. 

Not at all, you can take part in this event regardless of your current cycling ability.

The focus of the event is on teamwork and sharing the distance however you wish between your team members. Use tactics that work for your team - whether that be sharing the daily distance equally for each stage or rotating who secures the furthest distance.
