The problem
Company races and on-site 5Ks appeal to the people who already run. Everyone else opts out, so participation starts low and stays there.
A corporate virtual marathon everyone can finish.
Everyday steps convert into race distance so employees across your entire workforce can cross the finish line at their own pace.
In one line
Vantage Fit turns everyday steps into race distance. Your whole workforce can finish a marathon together over several weeks, without running and without GPS.
One finish line, two flexible formats.
Run a step-based race the whole workforce can join, or a GPS-timed route for the runners who want one.
The same distances as a real marathon.
Employees earn a badge at each race distance, so progress is visible long before the finish line.
Run, cycle and wheelchair activities all count, shown in your workforce's metric or imperial units.
Set it up once. It runs in every region.
Set the race
Choose the dates, the distance, how many steps count as a kilometer, and who takes part.
Everyone is enrolled for you
Employees who match your audience rules join automatically. There are no sign-up forms.
Every region gets a full day
Race days follow each employee's own time zone, so nobody loses hours to the calendar.
Badges and certificates
Badges land at each distance. Turn on certificates and they go out at the finish, with your logo and signature.
The step-based E-Marathon launches self-serve from your admin console, while custom GPS race categories are configured with support.
A public leaderboard does not mean public health data.
The board shows distance and rank, nothing clinical. Employees can hide from the individual leaderboard and still cross the finish line. Reporting is aggregate only and hosted in the region you pick. We are HIPAA compliant, with a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) covering the lab report pipeline.

Talk to a program specialist →A corporate virtual marathon is a distance event employees complete over a set period wherever they are, by turning their everyday steps into race distance. In Vantage Fit the self-serve E-Marathon counts 1,000 steps as 1 km by default, so walking gets people to the finish without a GPS run.
No. The step-based E-Marathon needs only steps from the phone, so walking counts and no wearable is required. A separate GPS Marathon Event exists for runners who want a timed, tracked race, and it is set up with your account manager.
In the E-Marathon, steps convert to distance at a default of 1,000 steps per kilometer, which you can adjust. The GPS Marathon Event instead ranks by time per distance, so the fastest pace wins.
No. Steps sync from the employee's phone. Wearables are optional and only add accuracy.
Yes. The GPS Marathon Event offers 5K, 10K, half and full marathon tiers, tracked through the app's GPS workout. Your account manager configures it during setup.
That is the point. Distance comes from ordinary steps, badges reward reaching each milestone regardless of speed, and anyone can opt out of the individual leaderboard while still finishing.
Long enough that a walker can reach the target. Published Vantage Fit walkathons of this shape have run 2 weeks at POSOCO and 30 days at Landmark Group. A full 42.2 km, or 26.2 miles, at walking pace wants several weeks.
Not a marathon-specific one. The closest published Vantage Fit results are step-based walkathons: 97% participation at POSOCO over 2 weeks, and 5,000+ participants across 6 in-house teams at Landmark Group.
