As I write, May is just under 550 hours old, yet the entire top 50 on the leaderboard have all supposedly done more than 550 hours exercise, with the top 2 having done over 3000 hours.
Is there no sanity checking on what people are logging for challenges (this challenge claims manual activity doesn’t count, so one must assume they have multiple devices logged in simultaneously)?

I can’t see the top ranked person, but I can see the second rank.
Apparently he goes for some very long swims:
His runs look legit, so maybe whatever he’s tracking the swims with is producing dodgy stats.
The next one I can see has a swim with a 2000 hour plus time.
G’Day @Vincenzo,
I can see about half the profiles (I stopped looking at 1000 hours as it’s pumpkin time in Australia), and can figure out the issue with most of the ones I can see.
It looks like there’s a very simple way of racking up hundreds of hours of exercise: go swimming with a Suunto watch as the tracker. Every crazy time was from swimming, and every one that listed the source of the data listed a Suunto. It seems to record the odd lap as between 590 and 600 hours.
So not cheating, just not cleaning up the data produced by their fitness tracker.
Cheers,
Mark.
