Top Dogs

Who are the top dogs of WinterActive?

We're talking about actual dogs here. If you are a dog-walker you can now add your dog to WinterActive and see who is the leader of the pack. Every time you record a dog-walking activity your dog gets a treat too.

Look for the Top Dogs in the navigation menu under 'People' (yeah, we know).

To add your doggo, go to your 'Edit your profile' page once you sign in.

This feature is in beta (still being developed and tested) so only one dog per player for now.

Strava Standings

See how you compare with other Strava users.

Players using their Strava workouts, bike rides, runs or any other activity data can now see how they stack up against other WinterActive Strava members.

Not on Strava? If you regularly walk, hike, run, bike, swim or are active in any number of other athletic / physical activities you should probably join up. It's free, and there are millions of Strava users worldwide.

Team Page

Team pages now show latest activities and photos for your team only.

Data and Statistics on the Home Page

All data on the home page is updated every 15 minutes.

The home page pulls in a LOT of data, especially later in the month as more and more activities get recorded. That meant the home page took more time to load. A new way of calculating all that data now means the home page loads super fast, and gets updated every 15 minutes.

Don't see the activity you just added to your player account? Wait until past the quarter hour and refresh the page.

All other standings pages, player pages and team pages show current data.
