No, you can choose to either link the third party app or use any other distance tracked app.
However, to submit the results from other distance tracked apps, please make a manual submission on the BiiB website.
Please note that if you have already linked the correct third party account to the correct BiiB account registered for the event and the activities are synced, you do not need to make a manual submission as this will result in an overlapping activity.
