FAQ
How does Stride work?
Stride connects to your existing fitness trackers like Strava or Apple Health to read your workout data. You then join or create challenges with a buy-in, and if you meet the goal, you split the prize pool with other winners. Winnings are paid out in real cash.
What types of fitness challenges are available on Stride?
Stride offers various challenge types including distance (runs, walks, rides), steps (daily or weekly targets), duration (active movement minutes), and streaks. You can also participate in head-to-head, group, or open tournaments.
Can I create my own fitness challenges in Stride?
Yes, you can create your own challenges in under a minute. You set the goal, the time window, and the buy-in amount for others to join.
How are winnings paid out from Stride?
Winnings are deposited into your in-app wallet as soon as a challenge settles. You can then withdraw your earnings to your bank account, typically within 2 to 7 business days via ACH in the United States or Wompi in Colombia.
Does Stride have ads?
Stride does not contain advertisements. The app is free to download and use, with monetization coming from challenge buy-ins and potential winnings.
Is Stride suitable for all ages?
Stride has an age rating of 17+, indicating it is intended for adult users. This is likely due to the financial aspects of the challenges and the competitive nature of the platform.
How does Stride ensure fair competition?
Stride employs anti-cheat systems that flag implausible paces, GPS-impossible routes, and manual data entry. This aims to protect honest competitors and ensure that payouts go to those who have genuinely completed the activities.
What data does Stride collect and how is it used?
Stride reads only the workout data necessary to score challenges, such as steps, distance, duration, calories, and route. You have control over data access and can revoke permissions from your Health app or Strava at any time. The app states it never sells your data and does not use HealthKit data for ads.
