HOW DO I SIGN UP FOR A VIRTUAL CHALLENGE?
We have a simple 3 step process to follow:
Pick your challenge, package and pay
Join a challenge and setup your account profile
Link your fitness device, choose your activity and get started
CAN I SIGN UP TO MORE THAN ONE VIRTUAL CHALLENGE?

CAN I JOIN A CHALLENGE AT ANYTIME?
Yes, however we will close entries around 3 months prior to the end of the challenge.
CAN I BACKDATE MY MILES TO START OF THE CHALLENGE?

You have the right to change your mind anytime up to 14 days after you have purchased your virtual challenge. We will deduct a £10.00 fee from all refunds to cover the none refundable cost of the MyVirtualMission platform registration. After 14 days, no refunds will be given and you will not be entitled to any of the rewards.
