Getting Started Badges
Getting started badges are designed to guide you through your first steps on OuiRace. They reward essential actions that help you set up your account and get the most out of the platform. Unlike sports badges, they do not require any athletic performance.
List of Getting Started Badges​

JPG and PNG formats are accepted. A square image (for example 400x400 pixels) ensures optimal display across all devices.
App​

Watch​
Criteria: Connect a sports tracking device (Strava or Garmin) to your OuiRace account.
Connecting a tracking device enables automatic synchronization of your sports activities. Every session recorded on Strava or Garmin will be automatically imported into OuiRace and counted in your challenges.
To set up the connection:
- Strava: see the guide Connect Strava.
- Garmin: see the guide Connect Garmin.
Connecting Strava or Garmin is highly recommended for the best experience. Your activities are counted automatically without any manual entry.
Verified Identity​
Criteria: Verify your email address and phone number.
Verifying your identity strengthens your account security and ensures you will receive important communications (registration confirmations, race results, etc.).
- Email verification: a 6-digit code is sent to your email address.
- Phone verification: a 6-digit code is sent by SMS.
Enter the received codes in the designated fields in your account settings.
