Each race route will have a 60-minute timer. Along the way you will have these different types of checkpoints:

• Green (Checkpoint): Run through the location to collect points
• Blue (Challenge): This will either be a Bodyweight Exercise or a Discovery Quiz Question. Bodyweight Exerise: Complete the exercise activity. If yes, you receive more points. Discovery Quiz Question: Search around you for clues to answer the question.
• Pink (Time Trial): Sprint from Start to Finish as fast as possible. The quicker you are, the more points you get.

Yes, there are Challenges with Quiz Questions and Challenges with Exercises. Take a look through before starting your route, to see if the Challenge you are trying contains Bodyweight Exercises or Discovery Quiz Questions. Each Challenge will have one type or the other, but not both.

This is an invidivual event, however District is the most fun when doing so in small groups of friends. You can use "Challenge mode" to run together and compete head-to-head on the map, but be sure to follow the social distancing measures in your city.

Don't forget to add your club name into the Last Name of your profile to represent your club, ie John Smith (USRC TIGERS). Represent your club as you accumulate points and ultimately win Club bragging rights.
