Beyond Run’s automated and human verification team supports all major GPS fitness trackers: Strava, Nike Run Club (NRC), Garmin Connect, Apple Fitness / Apple Watch, Samsung Health, Coros, and Google Fit.
02What Your GPS Screenshot Must Include

03Treadmill Run Verification Guidelines
If running on an indoor treadmill, upload a photo of the treadmill console showing distance, time, and calories burned alongside a smartwatch or fitness tracker activity summary showing the corresponding heart rate and duration.
04Verification Timeline & Medal Dispatch
Once submitted via your Beyond Run Dashboard, proofs are reviewed within 24 to 48 hours. After approval, your QR-verifiable e-certificate is generated immediately, and your physical metal medal is queued for express doorstep courier dispatch.
