Identical route - Why was my creation not selected?

Your creation may be refused if it is too similar to an existing route. The moderation team ensures that each route brings genuine novelty and enriches the catalogue.

Reason for refusal

Your route is more than 70% identical to one or several routes already published and visible in the app.
In this case, the creation is not published to avoid duplicate content.

Tips for your future creations

To increase your chances of validation:

• check before submitting that the route does not already exist in the app,

• try to provide a variation (different loop, modified start/end points, new points of interest).

Loyalty points

Even if your creation is refused, your loyalty points are still credited as long as the activity was carried out in the field.

For more information about earning points, see the dedicated article: How to earn loyalty points with Decathlon Outdoor?

Sharing photos

If you added photos during your recording, we would like to keep them in order to enrich the existing route. This allows the community to benefit from additional information.
If you do not wish to share your photos, you can let us know via the contact form.
