Earning Garmin Connect Distance Badges

Garmin Connect offers different indoor and outdoor activity distance badges that are separate from challenge badges which vary month to month. Distance badges will specify the type of indoor or outdoor running or cycling that you must complete to earn the badge. Distance badges include:

NOTE:  Available badges are subject to change occasionally including specialty badges that may only be available for a limited time. Badges for indoor running and indoor cycling were added starting on April 1, 2020. These badges will be awarded for activities uploaded after the release of a specific badge.  Garmin Connect will not award badges for activities uploaded prior to the release of a particular badge.  

Outdoor Running:

• 5K Run
• 10K Run
• Half Marathon
• Marathon
• 50K Ultra
• 100K Ultra
• 100 Mile 

Indoor Running:

• Treadmill Mile
• Treadmill 5K
• Treadmill 10K

Outdoor Cycling: 

• 5 Mile Ride
• 10 Mile Ride
• 20 Mile Ride
• 50 Mile Ride
• 100 Mile Ride

Indoor Cycling:

• Indoor 10 Mile Ride

To achieve each badge the saved activity must be at or near the distance recognized and only one distance badge can be earned per activity. An example would be that you would only get a Marathon badge for a running activity that was 26.2 miles even though technically the activity covers other shorter distance badges.
