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!

You can keep track of your kilometres using any tracker app on your phone, and we do recommend using Strava, Fitbit or Garmin. Don't miss out on joining the Strava club here.

Follow these steps to log your kilometres on your page and keep friends and family updated.

1. Log in to your Sands account 
2. Click the person icon on the top right 
3. Click My Fundraising
4. Click My Fitness Activity
5. Scroll down to Add Activity and type in how many kms you've done and any other details
6. Click Save Changes

The Health app on iPhone or Google Fit app on Android both keep track of how many kilometres you do each day. There’s other apps available so do pick whichever works best for you.

If you have a pedometer or sports watch, these can usually keep track of your kilometres too.

You can also download a copy of the Run 50k in September challenge tracker here to print off and log your daily runs.

If you’re unable to join a team, it’s usually because the team settings don’t allow new members.
