## What is Pathfinder Run Club?

Pathfinder Run Club is for running groups that start together and spread out. Everyone on the run can see who is ahead, who is behind, and how far back the last runner is, without stopping to text anyone.

HOW IT WORKS
• One person shares the group code. Everyone enters it once with their name. No accounts, no passwords.
• Build a course on the map, import a public Strava route link, or open a GPX file. Distances are measured along your course.
• Tap Start at the trailhead. Hold Finish at the end.

PLAN YOUR NEXT RUN
• Build routes right in the app. Search for a starting place, then tap the map to connect waypoints using available walking paths.
• Undo changes, return to your starting point, and see the course distance as you plan.
• Edit a saved course or duplicate it to try a new variation. Move, insert, and remove waypoints.
• Preview saved routes with Street, Satellite, or Hybrid maps before heading out.
• Import public Strava route links with a map preview and editable name. Availability depends on the route being publicly accessible.

WHILE YOU RUN
• Lock screen and Dynamic Island show your mile, how many runners are ahead and behind, who is leading, and how far back the last runner is. One glance, no unlocking.
• The map shows the course and everyone's position, color-coded: green ahead of you, orange behind, gray if their phone has gone quiet.
• A nearest-first list tells you exactly how far each runner is from you along the course.
• Finish is a press-and-hold, so a sweaty thumb can't end your run by accident.

BUILT FOR 5 AM
Dark screen, big numbers, nothing to type mid-run. Works in an armband or a pocket with the phone locked. If your signal drops, the app keeps buffering and catches up when it returns.

PRIVACY
Your position is shared only while a run is on, only with people who hold your group code, and never with advertisers. Leave group deletes your data. Details at https://pathfinder-api-bookleaf-ais-projects.vercel.app/privacy.

Pathfinder uses your location in the background while a run is active so your group can see you with the phone locked. iOS shows its location indicator the whole time.
