    Don't know when Garmin comes out with new challenges. Since 2 years, the challenges haven't changed

    I guess they want to encourage consistency! It would be great if there were 2 or 3 different ones each time. Also, yet again it’s a back-to-back 40km cycle weekend!

    Have they pulled the Disney badge? I accepted to 'join' it as a challenge earlier but it's now it's disappeared from my Connect.

      Which is annoying, because with the 200, 100 and 40 we'd be almost there!

      Had to join challenges via web browser. Seeing the "ugly" names in the app. Maybe some cached data issue.

      I'm not seeing them on my app either

      I updated my system app and the challenges loaded!

      Mine eventually started working. Joining from web browser worked until the app picked them up. I'm sure it was a data caching issue.

    Can anyone tell me if I can still join the January Weekend 40K challenge? I actually did the ride yesterday, but forgot to join the challenge, and now I don't see it among the available challenges any more. It was January 3-5.

      You must join the challenges before they end. So, no.
      Tip: Join all challenges every month. It doesn't matter if you fail any of them.

      Thanks Andy. Yes, I know and I usually do that, I literally forgot.

    It seems that to win the "Garmin Run Asia Series 2025 - Japan" setting the country to japan and running in your own country does not work. I tried myself without success and found other people in reddit facing the same issue.
    Did someone managed to get them ?

      They are not available yet. I don't think they will be country dependent, but I'm "in" Taiwan just in case.

Dance Fitness has arrived

Image
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
