Where can I find out more about the Series?

More information about the Series can be found here team-dsm.com/keepchallenging

Do I need to take part in every challenge?

No, you don’t need to take part in every challenge. If you’d like to take part in just one of the multiple challenges taking place this summer, you can! For the team challenges, the performances of the top 6 individuals from each team count to an aggregated result. Not every team member needs to complete every challenge but the more members of your team that are involved, then the greater the chance of success!

How much does the Series cost?

It is free to enter.

How many team members can I have?

Teams consist of up to 8 team members, including yourself.

What if I do not have a team?

Not to worry! In the sign-up process, select “none” when asked which team you are joining. We will assign you to a group of other solo entrants.

Do I need to have a full team to enter?

No you don’t, however the contributions of the top 6 individuals of each team are aggregated in the team challenges so each person may need to contribute more in a smaller team. Your best chance is with 8!

When do the races start?

The first event will start on the 15th June. For more details, head to www.team-dsm.com/keepchallenging

Can I transfer members of my team?

Who will I be competing against?

How do I submit a record of my ride to a challenge?

Once you have completed a ride and wish to submit that time/distance as your result, you need to enter the information into the Results Base database. A wide variety of digital GPS-based apps and devices that allow you to share ride data are accepted. Choose the DSM Keep Challenging Ticket for the relevant challenge within “my area” on the Results Base website (or select the link you were sent at the start of the relevant challenge). From there, “enter your result” and follow the instructions. For more information, visit resultsbase.net/page/virtualrun

What digital apps/devices are compatible with recording my rides?

You can use any GPS-based tracker that allows you to share ride data such as Strava, Suunto, Garmin, Polar, and FitBit. If you use a Garmin device and a Garmin Connect account you can automatically connect this to the system. You can even upload photos as evidence. For more information on this please check out resultsbase.net/page/virtualrun and resultsbase.net/page/virtualfaq

Can I use indoor exercise machines or electric bikes participate?

Indoor exercise bikes or trainers are possible as long as the time/distance can be recorded and uploaded (such as via Strava and or a photo of an electronic screen in the case of an indoors exercise bike). Electric bikes or any devices with motorized support are not permitted.
