Run The Date is a running app built on challenges.
A daily challenge the whole app runs together, custom challenges you create with your squad, and full club management with leaderboards, chat, events and announcements. Every run counts toward something.
THE DAILY CHALLENGE
The date is the distance. January 1 is 1.01 km. December 31 is 12.31 km. The challenge is already set before you wake up, and it gets harder every month. No plan to build, no goal to negotiate with yourself. Just today's number.
Complete the day and your streak grows. Miss one and the comeback counts just as much.
By June, you're a different runner.
Runs, walks and rides all count toward the day, so an easy day does not have to be a zero.
BUILD YOUR OWN CHALLENGES
The date challenge is the flagship, not the limit.
- Duels: head to head against one person
- Pledges: commit to a target and put it on the record
- Survivor: miss a day and you are out, last runner standing wins
- Co-op: everyone's distance adds into one shared total
Run them privately inside your squad, or join whatever your club has going. Captains launch club challenges from a catalog and control how they are scored.
RUN YOUR CLUB PROPERLY
Clubs here are not a group chat with a logo on it.
- Announcements with cover images
- Group chat in channels
- Club leaderboards and club stats
- Events with RSVPs
- A challenge catalog captains launch from
- Member management, roles and moderation tools
- Branding, joining rules and discovery settings you control
Squads are the smaller, tighter version: your close circle, a shared streak, a private leaderboard, and custom challenges you set for each other.
TRACK IT YOUR WAY
Built-in GPS tracking with live pace, distance, elevation and your route on the map. Background tracking keeps recording with the screen off or another app open. Spoken audio cues keep you posted without looking down.
Prefer another app? Log any run manually in seconds, or import your history.
Every activity gets a title, notes and a quick how-did-it-feel rating, so your log reads like a training diary instead of a spreadsheet.
CLIMB SOMETHING
Global, national, club and squad leaderboards, ranked on completed days rather than vanity mileage. Everyone gets the same challenge, so the table is honest.
Track your streak, your completion rate, your lifetime distance, your personal bests and the milestones you cross along the way.
DO NOT RUN ALONE
Follow other runners and watch their days land in your feed. React, comment, and reply in threads. Send a run or a post straight into a direct message. Post photos from the road.
SHARE IT
Turn any run, or a whole day, into an image worth posting. Route, stats and the date, ready for your story.
