Share a Challenge

Sharing is a key driver for the success of a solidarity challenge. The more visible a challenge is, the more participants and donors it attracts. OuiRace provides simple and effective sharing tools to spread the word about your commitment.

Why Share?​

Sharing a challenge allows you to:

  • Increase fundraising: every person reached is a potential donor.
  • Recruit new participants: your friends and family can join the challenge and contribute to the collective goal.
  • Raise awareness for the cause: make the charity and its project known beyond your usual circle.
  • Motivate participants: visibility encourages all participants to stay engaged.
The network effect

Studies show that the most successful fundraising campaigns are those where participants actively share with their network. A single share can multiply donations by three.

How to Share​

Native sharing (mobile)​

On mobile devices (smartphones and tablets), OuiRace uses the Web Share API to provide a native sharing experience:

  1. On the challenge page, tap the Share button.
  2. Your device's native share menu appears with all available apps: Messages, WhatsApp, Messenger, email, etc.
  3. Select the app of your choice.
  4. The challenge link is automatically inserted with an accompanying message.

Compatibility

Native sharing is available on most modern mobile browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox). On browsers that do not support the Web Share API, the button automatically falls back to copying the link.

If native sharing is not available or you prefer to copy the link manually:

  1. Click the Copy link button (link or clipboard icon).
  2. The challenge link is copied to your clipboard.
  3. Paste it into any app: email, messaging, social media, etc.

A brief confirmation message appears to let you know the link has been copied successfully.

The shared link directs recipients straight to the challenge page on OuiRace. From this page, they can:

  • View the challenge description and the supported cause.
  • See the current fundraising progress.
  • Make a donation to support the challenge (see Make a Donation).
  • Join the challenge if they want to actively participate (see Join a Challenge).

The link includes the full challenge slug:

Share a Race​

The sharing mechanism also works for races on OuiRace. From a race page, you can:

  • Use the Share button for native sharing on mobile.
  • Copy the link of the race to send it through the channel of your choice.

Invite your athletic friends to discover upcoming races and sign up with you.

Tips for Effective Sharing​

To maximize the impact of your shares:

  1. Personalize your message: accompany the link with a personal note explaining why this cause matters to you.
  2. Share regularly: do not share just once. Post updates on your progress to maintain attention.
  3. Use multiple channels: combine social media, private messaging, and email to reach as many people as possible.
  4. Show your progress: mention how far you have come ("I've already covered 80 km out of 200!") to make the challenge feel concrete.
Respect your audience

Share enthusiastically but without overdoing it. Too many requests can have the opposite effect and discourage your contacts.
