Question:
I love your new Nike+ website but where have all my challenges gone? I can't find my exisiting challenges. Can I still keep track of the progress of the challenges I am in?
From Nike+ Running Faqs:
Challenges are being revamped with new ways to challenge and be challenged by any Nike+ member. Runners will be able to challenge their Nike+ friends with miles or NikeFuel-based challenges, as well as 1:1 and group challenges. Our new Challenge feature will be launched in Fall 2012.
Are you in an existing Challenge on our current site that extends past May 31? Not to worry - you will still be able to view your progress and see your Challenge leaderboards while we build the new Challenges system. Shortly after the new site launches in June, Challenge participants will be able to view a leaderboard of their existing Challenges. The Challenge leader boards will update in real time, and will include individual and team leader board views. You will not be able to edit, join, invite a new member, create a new challenge, delete an existing challenge or trash talk. But you will be able to keep your current Challenges going while we build our new version, which we hope gives you that extra motivation and fun that Nike+ brings.
Please note there will be a short amount of time after the new site launches where you will not be able to see your current Challenges. Your data will not be lost. We are still tracking every run and keeping the leader boards intact, so keep getting those runs in!
It's 2013 now. No challenges. Disappointing.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was just me who couldnt find that page anymore...
ReplyDeleteWould love to get some feedback from Nike on when we might `roughly' expect to see these back! Great feature that I'm sure the majority of users would like to see back :-)
ReplyDeleteThey were removed in May 2012 and were scheduled to be brought back well over 6 months ago. Since then not a single announcement has been made about Challenges. Nike seems to have lost interest and TomTom (the company behind the GPS-watch) seems to have lost interest in Nike since they are coming out with a new and improved Multisport GPS watch this summer, without Nike. If TomTom has challenges or anything else Nike used to have (coach, maps, forums or any other social thing) I'm switching over.
ReplyDeleteIn response to someone asking about challenges on facebook, Nike posted this:
ReplyDelete"Along with our site upgrade, Nike+ Challenges have gone away as we are continuing to evolve the Nike+ experience to make it more motivational and social. "
Does that make sense to anybody?
I got a very similar responce when I enquired about the challenges. I was very disappointed that now almost a year and still no update. blah blah blah..value my comments blah blah It's people like me who keep the webite fresh...blah blah!
DeleteI think I'll send them another one!!!
I was also trying to find challenges to have more fun while I'm running. I have seen some great advertisings and nothing :(
ReplyDeleteDo U have any knownleadge if it EVER appear on Nike+?
I think it's never coming back. This might be the time to leave Nike+
ReplyDeleteNike promised to provide an update 'soon'. That was 6 months ago and it's been dead silent ever since. So I think you're right.
Deletelet me know when you guys find a good challenge site. thx hudsoncecelia@gmail.com
