Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions.

Your email allows us to send you, at each step you pass, a small photo of the place where you are and an adventure related to the location. We will occasionally contact you through it if we notice an anomaly, for example if your runs are no longer being recorded. We guarantee that your email addresses will never be sold to third parties or used for commercial purposes.

It is possible that our emails are being blocked by your spam filter. Please check your spam folder and consider adding our address [email protected] as a trusted sender.

Every time you reach a step (every 10 km at the beginning of the race), you will have the opportunity to discover where you are virtually with a little adventure. These adventures are almost all based on real facts related to the place you will visit!

You can play up to 3 adventures per day, adventures are played in race order.

You will receive an email for each adventure to be experienced that has not yet been experienced.

We have already written 1023 adventures, the last one to experience is at Gold Hill • united states (for now 😉)

On its main race, The Beautiful Walk offers you optional "adventures" to experience, which allow you to learn more about your step by living through fictional adventures. Often you will be asked to choose between doing a good action or a bad action, which will have a positive or negative impact on your karma. This data is therefore a small summary of your fictional adventures and has no relation to your performance.

We support the following applications:

• RunKeeper
• Withings
• Strava
• FitBit

However, we offer manual entry if none of the proposed applications suit you.

We retrieve your activities from your registration date on the site. One day we decide to go around the world, and that day is the day you registered. If we add an application you were using, we will try to recalculate your distances by taking these new activities from the site registration date.

You can link as many applications as available, however, we will calculate a cumulative distance per day and per application. Only the cumulative total of the greatest distance of the day will be taken into account for your logbook. Manual entries are considered as a separate application.

No action is required on your part, activities are retrieved automatically, several times a day between 8am and 11pm. The system goes back 2 days in time, to retrieve nighttime activities and connection gaps. An activity is missing? Make sure your third-party account has it (RunKeeper, Withings, FitBit...), and if it does, write to us!

We only take into account activities that have a speed less than or equal to running pace.

No skateboarding, cycling, motorcycling, unicorns...

We are working hard to offer you this connection.

Until then you can create a Strava account and link your Garmin account to Strava, then link Strava to The Beautiful Walk.

We hope to offer you this connection by the end of 2025.

Not yet... The Beautiful Walk wants to be compatible with all major mobile applications that offer wonderful services for free. So choose your favorite from the list of already compatible applications, and get going!

These platforms unfortunately do not offer the possibility to retrieve your data from their servers. You always have the option to manually report your daily data in one of our compatible applications. If you are on Android, the FitBit application offers the same kind of service and is compatible with our site.

We store locally the distance, type, date and duration of your activities, as well as the information you have provided in your profile. We do not resell any data to third parties
