Becoming a Finisher is one of the main goals of an event — it means you've completed the challenge, separate from where you land on the leaderboard. Here's what it takes.
What "Finisher" means
You're marked as a Finisher once you've completed enough distinct routes — that is, different routes, not the same one over and over. It's a status that recognizes you finished the challenge, regardless of your times or ranking.
The threshold
The number of distinct routes you need is set by the organizer, per event. There's no single figure that applies everywhere, so check your own event's requirement rather than carrying a number over from another event you've ridden.
It sticks
Once you've reached the threshold and been marked as completed, you stay a Finisher. A later activity sync won't quietly take that status away from you.
What it unlocks (if your event offers it)
On some events, reaching Finisher status can let you order finisher merchandise — but this is optional and depends entirely on the organizer. Not every event offers it, and any sizes or product choices are handled when you place the order.
