Wellness Challenge Software That Teams Actually Finish
Racery is wellness challenge software built around team virtual races. 80+ activities count, for groups of 10 to 10,000.
Social Fitness Challenges Are Easy to Manage and Fun for Staff
What is a virtual fitness challenge and why does it engage staff?
Picture an activity feed just for your company. During a month-long event, employees log their daily activity, and each log moves their avatar along a route on a world map. For them it is motivation and team building. For you it is a wellness event that people talk about.
Setup is short. Pick one of our ready-made routes, from Italian beaches to the trails of Japan, or build one around your company's landmarks. Pindrops and Google Street Views along the route give people something to look at. Then send staff the registration link.
Every racer gets a personalized digital bib and a finish award, and streak awards reward logging day after day. We have hosted virtual fitness challenges since 2014.

How does a virtual fitness challenge work?
Employees team up, log any fitness activity, and travel a worldwide route, all in real time. Racery works anytime, anywhere, for every employee.
How is a virtual fitness challenge managed?
Our ready-made routes, from the Italian countryside to ancient Japanese trails, keep setup simple. You can customize the rest, from personalized bibs and awards for each racer to a race report PDF for leadership.
Did your last wellness challenge fail to engage employees?
Many platforms are built around incentives. Racery is built around community: teams, photos, comments and a shared route. It includes staff of all abilities, and you can download the results as a race report PDF. See what our virtual race sponsors say about Racery.
Racery is a social connection platform for employees.
We have built challenges since 2014. On packages from $4,500, we work with you to set goals and plan the event.

Four formats that work for remote, hybrid and on-site teams:
Team-Based Wellness Challenges
Departments, offices or mixed teams race each other along a shared route.
Heritage Month Programs
Tie a race to Women's History Month, Black History Month, Pride or Veterans Day.
More Than a Step Challenge
Steps count. So do yoga, cycling, swimming and 80+ other activities, so people who don't run still move the team.
Seasonal Wellness Programs
Run one each season: a spring reset, a summer race, a fall challenge, a year-end push.

Employee Wellness Challenge Ideas
The challenges that work best share a few things:
- Teams, so people play for each other and not only for their own rank
- A route with pindrops, photos and Street Views to explore along the way
- Activities beyond running, so everyone can take part
- Photos, likes and comments that get coworkers talking
"I am a 61-year-old walker…not a runner…but in the virtual race that doesn't matter. I felt like I belonged just as much as those who sprinted through it." Vicki Smith, Bukaty Companies
How Employee Wellness Programs Work on Racery
A typical month-long challenge looks like this:
- Employees join teams by department, office, ERG or a mix
- Everyone logs movement: walking, yoga, cycling, strength training, even yard work
- Teams travel a virtual route, passing pindrops and Street Views as they log miles
- Leaderboards, badges and digital awards keep it fun
- Pindrops and emails along the way can point to wellness resources or a charity partner

Request a demoFrequently Asked Questions
How is Racery different from other corporate wellness programs?
Most programs track individuals. Racery puts people on teams, on a shared route, with photos and comments, and counts 80+ activities.
What makes this better than a basic virtual step challenge?
Steps are one of 80+ activities that count. Teams race along a real route on a map, which gives people more to follow than a step total.
Can we run multiple employee wellness programs per year?
Yes. Races can last from a week to a few months, and many sponsors come back every year.
Does Racery integrate with wearables?
Yes, through Strava. Garmin and Apple Watch connect to Strava directly, and Fitbit needs a third-party sync app. Strava brings in runs, walks, rides and swims, and everything else is logged by hand. The sponsor decides whether to turn it on.
Can we connect a challenge with charity fundraising?
Yes. Every racer can have a fundraising page, and donations go straight to the charity's Stripe account. Racery takes no commission.
What works best for remote teams?
Teams. Add photo sharing and a mix of activities, and remote staff have a reason to check in every day.
How do we measure ROI?
Racery reports what happened: who registered, how often people logged, which activities they chose and how teams finished. Download it as a PDF with charts, or as registrant and activity reports. Pair that with your own survey to show value.
