Today I ran 10 kms in a city event. My blaze calculated the distance at 8.87kms. I know the race was accurately measured at 10 kms as it was a proper race event. Why did my blaze not calculate correctly?

Did you calibrate your running stride length? Since there is no onboard GPS, the Blaze will calculate distance based on stride settings.

I had my cellphone my arm as well. Would that not track as well?
