How do I login to my account?

Participants need to login to the HDOR website using their communicated login credentials.

No new accounts will be created for pre-existing HDOR participants, they can use their existing HDOR accounts for data submission if they registered for the using the same email credentials as their HDOR account.

By when do I need to complete the distance challenge?

All challenges must be completed within the applicable calendar month for the challenge (starting 1st of the month and ending on the respective last date of the month).

How do I record and submit my ride data?

Data submission: You can submit your ride data directly on our website or HDOR app after logging in to your account with your credentials. You will need to submit your ride distance, time as well as an activity link if the ride distance exceeds 3 km.

Activity Link: Activity link is a URL or website link which has details of your recorded ride activity, including date, time, distance, splits, pace, etc (see this for details). You can find and share or copy activity links from your ride app or from the website for the app or GPS watch. You should ensure that all your activity links are public so that other event participants and event admin can view your activity data.

Manual entries: Activities without any data proof, not recorded using any mobile app or GPS device may only be submitted for our Challenge Series events, subject to a maximum distance of 3 km for a day. This can be done using our website or app after logging in. No manual entry will be considered for any Virtual Ride Series events.

Running apps to use: For any data submission for distance exceeding 3 km, participants must run using a supported GPS cycling app (refer to supported apps article for details), or a GPS watch. Not all cycling apps provide a public activity link and hence may not be used if that is the case.

Automatic ride data import: We support automatic import of your cycling app data if you have connected your HDOR account with your Strava account from the Connected Apps section on website. If you do not use Strava app, many apps, GPS watches and websites allow exporting recorded activity to Strava, something you can explore and consider if you do not want to manually submit each ride data.

Multiple rides in day: Are allowed, and each have to be submitted separately. They will be counted towards your mileage for any of the annual distance based challenges.

Combining GPS activities using tools: All submitted runs must be a single recorded GPS activity. Multiple activities are not allowed to be combined into one activity using online tools and then submitted.

Public race data submission: You can also submit link to your finish timing from any public organized races (like Mumbai Marathon, etc) which use timing chip and have your event results online on a unique page with a unique URL or link. You can submit this using the manual entry data submission process.

Two rides for one event: For a run to be considered towards 100 km, 200 km, 300 km and 400 km challenge events, it should be done in one go and recorded as a single ride activity. Example recording 70 km and 30 km as two different rides in the day will not count towards a 100 km ride as part of the 100 km challenge event. For other distance challenges there are no such restrictions.

Indoor trainer rides: Indoor trainer rides recorded using GPS watches or apps and for which you have a public activity link which shows distance, time, pace, and splits will be acceptable for submission.

When will my Strava ride data be imported?

Your ride will be available on our website within an hour of your ride data submission or post availability in your Strava account if you have connected your HDOR account to Strava.

If your ride data is not available in your account within one hour, please submit the activity link and ride data manually via app or website.

Can my ride be disqualified?

Event organizers can reject any entry which has suspect GPS data (straight line outside normal ride route, unrealistic high pace any time during ride, etc)

Event organizers have the right to take any decisions for disqualifying a participant if the participant is considered to have taken any external help in riding the distance (like not using a cycle or using a powered vehicle) or cheated in any way.
