25 participant cap on group challenges

[TheRedSwitch]

Hello, 

I've created a distance-based group challenge at work; however, I cannot add more than 25 participants. 

If I subscribe to Strava, will that limit change?

Is there a way for me to create a group challenge that has a higher number of participants preferably unlimited where we can track group collective distance. Like Virtual TCS New York city challenge?

Not currently, unless you're interested in hosting a global challenge.

Here’s how you can engage with your community right now: 

• Clubs - create a club for your group, view leaderboards, and create events. 
• Group Challenges - get creative and motivate your friends, limited to 25 participants. 
• Sponsored Challenges - customized challenges created by brands that are featured in the challenge gallery and home feed.

Thank you for your response, how can I pursue a sponsorship so that I may have a customizable challenge with unlimited participants? I work for Philips and we're interested in having a collective distance challenge with an unlimited amount of participants.

If you are interested in hosting a global challenge on Strava, sponsored challenges are available to relevant sporting/athletic brands as a paid media activation. Please review the Strava|Business FAQs for more information and use the Get In Touch option if you would like to pursue this opportunity. A member of our team will get back to you if they believe there is a fit.

Hi, that's a great question. Creators of Group Challenges may invite up to 24 athletes that follow them on Strava. Having a Subscription does not change the maximum number of participants. You can read more about Group Challenges here as well as an article authored by one of our team members, here!
We are also looking into making improvements that expand opportunities to compete and collaborate with larger groups, so stay tuned for future updates coming to Strava.
