August 2020 Badge Challenges

Garmin just published the titles and descriptions for the badge challenges for August so this is just a sneak peak of what is coming.

August Ride to 400
Join this challenge and record 400 kilometers of cycling activities in the month of August.

August Step Month
Join this challenge and record 300,000 steps in August.

August Weekend 10K
Join this challenge and record a 10-kilometer running activity from August 7-9.

August Step Week
Join this challenge and record 70,000 steps from August 9-15.

August Rundown
Join this challenge and record 40 miles of running activities from August 16-29.

August Weekend 40K
Join this challenge and record a 40-kilometer cycling activity from August 28-30.

400 km of cycling might be a tough one for those that don't bike much. But it is just 13 km per day...for 31 days :-)

    Is it possible to get email updates whenever you post a new article?

      I've added the blog to Feedburner: http://feeds.feedburner.com/GarminBadges
      Check if that can be used.
      Another trick is to use Wachete or similar service that can check for updates of web pages.

    I see you have managed to get the badges for the novelty watches - Rey/Darth Vader etc. Is there a work around to get these or do you now have a real collection of Garmin watches!

      The first "trick" is to borrow a watch from someone that got one. Another trick is to get a fit file created by that watch and import it.

    a FIT file would be great! Any idea where I can get one?

      No news at all. Maybe not a priority at the moment. It is more important to get everything else working first. The last two badges in July were never live and the 40 km cycling badge hasn't been rewarded yet.

Dance Fitness has arrived

Five new badges are here. Garmin accidentally added them in September but they were quickly removed. In September there were 13 badges so we will probably soon see even more badges added. Garmin has added a new activity type "Dance Fitness" in the Gym & Fitness Equipment category so you can switch to that for all your dance fitness activities. I don't see the new type in Garmin Connect app on Android so it will need to come in an update. In the web it is already there. To add songs for the Mixtape badge you press the lap button. Each lap will add another song. Until we get Dance Fitness on the watches you can log with Cardio and press lap for each song. After save and sync you switch activity type in Garmin Connect to Dance Fitness. Garmin Badge Database Garmin Connect Change country setting
