Gold Medal Achievements
All racers receive a digital numbered bib from Racery that you can share on social media, as well as other graphics to share when you complete the race.
But if you go the extra mile, you can accomplish a Gold Medal Achievement for special shoutouts to share on your socials!
Be a Top Athlete, as an individual or part of a group, to get a weekly shoutout.
Be a Top Fundraiser, as an individual or part of a group, to get a weekly shoutout.
Become a Super Marathoner by completing the entire route twice or more to get a special shoutout.
Groups
What’s with the “groups” at the top of the Fundraising and Runners tabs in the race? Groups are sort of like building a team to combine your fundraising and racing efforts. It’s a great way to bring together your colleagues, co-workers, friends, and family and cheer each other on to a common goal (while also competing against other groups!). Even better, you can be part of more than one group!
So how do you become part of a group?
Join a Pre-existing group
Browse the list of groups at the top of the Athletes tab. Clicking on “…>>” will expand the list and give you more details. Click on a group name to see who else is in the group, the group stats, and a button that says “Add me to this group!”
Start your own group
Click on your racer icon in the top right corner of Racery, then on My Bio in the dropdown menu. There you can change your picture, add details about yourself, and type in the name of your new group. Typing the name of an existing group adds you to that group.
Invite others
Once you’ve joined a group, click on your group name in the Athletes tab. There, you can see your group stats and a button to invite others. This generates a link that you can copy and paste, share to Facebook or Twitter, or invite others by email.
Racery App
