We’re so glad to announce that with the latest release of Pacer for iOS and Android, we’ve officially added an exciting series of virtual challenges to our platform: Pacer Adventure Challenges!
What is the Pacer Adventure Challenge Series?
Pacer’s Adventure Challenge Series is collection of curated virtual challenges that motivates participants to achieve their fitness goals by transforming their real-life activity data into an exciting virtual experience.
How do they work?
We designed Adventure Challenges to motivate people to get active and move more, by incorporating fitness goals, competition, and exploration into a fun virtual experience that keeps participants engaged from start to finish.
Adventure challenges work to motivate people by…
- Challenging participants to complete their fitness goal before time expires
- Virtually guiding participants along some of the world’s most famous long-distance treks
- Rewarding finisher’s with exclusive virtual badges
- Letting participants go alone or compete with friends
