Hi, 

I'd like to join some 5k's virtually using my treadmill and my Blaze.  Is it possible to track my distance?

Sure you can @PaulPski, but there are a few things to be aware of.

-Holding on can mean some uncounted steps, not saying about the damaging aspect to the body.

-Your stride will need to be calculated for the speed the treadmill is set for. This most likely will not be your free run stride.

-You will need to use the manual trackingbmode on the Blaze, auto detect does nit give distance.
