How League points are calculated

Pacer Support
  • Updated
League points primarily rely on your daily step count, with 100 steps equating to 1 point. The daily cap for step count points is 300 points, equivalent to 30,000 steps. 
 
Once you hit the daily cap, extra steps won't add more points, but you can still earn up to 200 bonus points weekly from:
 
  • Daily Boosts
  • Weekly Boosts
  • Go Outside Boosts
  • Virtual Adventures
 
You can find these boosts in the Pacer Shop.
 

Points Boost

The Points Boost is a special bonus mechanism in the Pacer League designed to encourage users to participate more actively in daily walking activities and app usage:

    The Daily Boost is a special bonus in the Pacer Leagues designed to encourage more active participation in daily walking and app usage.
     
    When active, it doubles the League points you earn from GPS or treadmill walks for up to 30 minutes. The Boost must be used on the same day you unlock it.
     
  • Weekly Boosts
     
    The Weekly Boost uses AI to create a personalized points multiplier for your League activity each week. The multiplier is based on your activity level, giving you tailored incentives to stay motivated and keep progressing.
     
    You qualify if your average steps are under 10,000 per day. In Gold League and above, a Premium membership is required to use the Weekly Boost.
     
  • Go Outside Boosts
     
    The Go Outside Boost is a daily reward for exercising outdoors. You can earn bonus League points by checking in at parks and even more by sharing park photos.
     
    Park Check-In Rules & Points: 
    1. Users can earn extra points from one park check-in per day.
    2. Only the first park check-in of the day counts toward league points.
