Race events

There are two ways in which you get points for Vitality Race Events.

Vitality automatically receives your race data.
Once we have received the verified data from the timing company or race organiser, your points will be automatically uploaded if you have completed the event. The races where Vitality will automatically receive your race data are listed on the Vitality race events calendar.

You claim online for Vitality Race Events
For those events that are not included on the Vitality race events calendar and that qualify as timed and verified events, please remind your parent / guardian that they can upload your results through the self-capture option on the Discovery website. They will need to complete the online form and upload a copy of your race certificate or proof of your results. Vitality will then award your points. Please allow for up to four days for the points to reflect.
A fitness event is any fitness activity recognized by Vitality. E.g. parkrun, timed and verified race events, the use of fitness devices, golf.
You can earn a maximum of 3 000 fitness points per race event, depending on the race you participate in.
