Virtual marathon challenges

Give every employee a finish line.

Run a step-powered distance challenge over days, or create a one-day GPS event with target tiers. Vantage Fit brings every route into one visible program HR can manage and report.

Choose the right course

One finish line. Two ways to run it.

Start with the behavior you want, then choose the format that measures it accurately.

Admin self-serve

Make everyday steps feel like distance.

Set a finish-line target, choose km or miles, and let synced steps accumulate across the challenge window. Employees do not need to record a GPS route.

Built for participation

Make distance feel close enough to chase.

Progress stays concrete, whether it comes from ordinary steps or a GPS event route.

Count the movement people already make.

E-Marathon turns synced phone or wearable steps into distance without asking employees to record a route.

Show the next marker.

Employees can see total distance, rank, and time remaining from the challenge view.

Keep competition optional.

An employee can hide from individual rankings and continue participating.

Recognize the finish.

Completion certificates can carry your logo, signer, seal, and message.

Control for HR

Run the program, not the spreadsheet.

E-Marathon follows one admin flow. Marathon Event setup happens with your account team, then HR manages participation and results from Vantage Fit.

What is the difference between E-Marathon and Marathon Event?
E-Marathon is a self-serve challenge that converts synced steps into cumulative distance over a date range. Marathon Event is a separate, account-team configured format for one day, with GPS distance, multiple target tiers, and run, cycle, or wheelchair modes.
Do employees need a fitness tracker?
No tracker is required for E-Marathon. A supported phone step source can provide the steps, and employees may also use connected devices. Marathon Event uses the Vantage Fit phone app to record a GPS workout.
Can employees participate without appearing on the leaderboard?
Yes. Employees can hide themselves from individual rankings while their activities and challenge progress continue to count.
What can HR report after the challenge?
HR can view challenge rankings, search and filter participants, and export leaderboard data to CSV. Available columns include participant, department, score or steps, rank, and team where applicable.
Pick the date. Set the distance.
