Inverclyde Globetrotters' Continental Challenge 2024
How to Register to Take Part
Signing up to take part is easy. Simply go to igc.bigteamchallenge.com to register. Once you have registered you can create or join a team and get ready for the challenge to start.
Note: If you have a Big Team Challenge account already use your existing logins. There is a 'Forgotten Password?' link on the login page if you need to use it.
Creating Your Own Team
For this challenge you can either create your own team or join an existing team. Teams can have up to five members.
When you create your team you will be able to choose between requiring people to be invited to join your team (invite-only teams) or allowing people to join your team without needing to be invited. For this challenge, we'd probably recommend you set up your team as an 'invite-only' team.
You will need to enter the 4-digit access code which you will receive from the challenge organiser when you register or login to take part. The people you wish to invite on to your team will need the access access code too so please share this with them before you invite them.
If you’d like to take part on your own, you can create your own ‘invite-only’ team and simply not invite anyone to join you. When the challenge starts, all of the teams will be working together to get everyone across the finish line.

Once the Challenge Starts: Adding Your Distances
Once the challenge starts on Sunday 29 September 2024, you can add the distances you walk or run manually or you can automatically track your progress using your Fitbit, Garmin, Apple HealthKit (iOS only) and Health Connect (Android only) (both of these are available via the Big Team Challenge app). Doing so means your activity will sync every time you open the app, so make sure you do that every day or so.
If you wish to use Fitbit, Garmin, Apple HealthKit or Health Connect it’s a good idea to connect your device before the challenge begins so you can hit the ground running.
You can find out how to sync your device and track your steps by clicking here.
Mobile Apps
The Big Team Challenge app is available for iPhone and Android. Simply use the challenge address iwd.bigteamchallenge.com when prompted on the first screen. You will only need to enter igc. The rest of the challenge address is prefilled.
During the Challenge
Once the challenge begins, it’s time to start tracking your activity.
You can start inputting your distances from 12.01 A.M. on Sunday 29 September 2024.
As everyone logs their activity, the challenge map will update to show where, collectively, we have reached along the virtual route.
