We'd like to thank all our users and wish you a

Until next year, make sure you try out our core feature "challenges". That is what really makes Softrace great. The article below will get you started. Thanks for all the great response, now go out and set some high scores! Best wishes, The Softrace Team.

Create a Challenge

Glows from Lillsport, best there is.

CHALLENGE

Racing on a specific dedicated track! Create race tracks (challenges) and try to beat the high score. You can share your challenges or take on the challenges of other users! Live view on race progress (position in race etc.), location, distance, pace and more.

Challenge is a form of racing and one of the core features of Softrace. While the racing mode lets you compete anywhere in the world, challenges let you compete on real world courses. It could be compared with a pinball machine; one course and one high score for anyone to take on. But this time you physically will try to beat the high score in different motion based sports. In real time, in real life. You can easily create your own challenges and share them so that other users can try to beat the high score on your challenge.

A course is made up of a number of checkpoints where each checkpoint is the proximity of a given coordinate. The checkpoints are numbered and must be taken in order, starting with checkpoint »1«. A checkpoint is considered taken as soon as you have entered its proximity.

So, make a challenge of your favourite track and be among the first to share it with the world! All you need to know about getting started with "Challenges" is captured in the Softrace Help section on your handset.

SoftRate no 2

5.0 out of 5.0

This Softrate rates a pair of 8 year old glows from Swedish "Lillsport". It's the best pair of glows I have ever owned and they have gone through the "big test"; Six Vasaloppet + training (+2000 km cross country skiing), running and biking in between seasons. They still look brand new! Perfect fit, outstanding quality, wind resistant and dry. Go to Lillsport and check out their new models.

This is what Digital Trends had to say about us. We say; thank you!

SoftRate no 1 – Don't run out of light!

5.0 out of 5.0



As days grow shorter and darkness comes quick this little but powerful headlamp might save the day. e+lite® is super light and fits easily in the smallest pocket. We wouldn't start out in complete darkness but if you are uncertain about if you will be back before dusk its perfect. Due to its small size its also great as a back up light if your more powerful headlamp fails. Wouldn't leave without it! For full technical information go to petzl.com

• long lasting battery
• small and light

SR tip No 1

Some best practices to keep in mind while creating new challenges:
• Place checkpoints in areas where you are likely to have a good GPS signal, in other words avoid placing checkpoints deep in the forest or right in between tall buildings.
• Make sure you zoom in as far as the map allows on every checkpoint in order to position them with greatest possible precision.

We want you to perform better, to stand on top of your goals. Here is some reading to get you there; Core Performance Endurance.
