September challenges - activities not counting

Former Member
Former Member over 4 years ago

Hello,

I have noticed that running activities and walking activities are not counted towards “September rundown challenge” and “September 16 hours of walking challenge” for me.

Last 2 weeks I was on “August rundown challenge” and it worked perfectly...

Anybody else experiences the same issue?

Thx!

    Hi

    I have the same issue with my “September 16 Hours of Walking Challenge”. My steps show up on my dashboard but I’m on my challenges. If anyone has a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated. 

    Thanks.

    Steps doesn't count for the "September 16 Hours of Walking Challenge". For that challenge you must log activities as "Walking".

    Steps are only counted for the "September Step Month" challenge.

    If it worked in August it is very strange that it doesn't work now.

    Has anything changed from when it worked? Switched Garmin device, changed activity type etc?

    If you can't find anything that could cause this then please post links to a running activity and a walking activity so we can check. Remember to make the activities public.

    Hello, thx for response!

    As far as I am aware, nothing has changed since last week... No updates etc... I am sending screenshots and making the activities public.

    Thanks for the response. I did log it as “Walking”. The activity is shown on my dashboard and recorded as a walk however, it still does not reflect on my challenge. I have restarted my device as well but no luck. If you have any other suggestions, please share. 

    thanks.

    @e7andy Thx for help... for some reason it started counting right after i made the activities public.

    Great! I didn't see anything wrong with them so that was really good since I didn't have any ideas at all how to fix it :-)

    Edit:
    Maybe the change in visibility of the activities counted as an edit and the activities were evaluated once again. The tip next time when something isn't working with the challenges and badges could be that you do an edit of the activity.

    I’m having the same problem with the ‘16 hours of walking’ challenge.  My 55 minute walk from yesterday wasn’t counted, but my 13 minute walk from today was.  Both were logged as walking activities, and I can see them both on my dashboard. The September rundown seems to be fine though, as were all previous challenges.
