## What is RunSafe?

RunSafe puts safety at the center of every run. Share live location with friends and loved ones, get proactive alerts, and run with confidence — so runners feel safe and families feel informed.

Live Location & Map View – Share your real-time location and progress with chosen watchers. They can see exactly where you are and get directions to you if needed.

On-Route Alerts – Plan a route and RunSafe quietly tracks whether you stay on it. If you stray too far, your watchers are automatically notified — no action needed from you.

Smart Notifications – Automatic "starting now" and "finished" alerts to the people you choose. Control exactly which alerts you send and receive with granular notification preferences.

One-Tap Messaging – Quick updates like "All good" or "Heading back" without breaking stride. Watchers can reply right away.

Events & Races – Browse and join local races, get announcements from race directors, and track participants on race day with live leaderboards.

Run Clubs – Find nearby clubs, join with a code, and stay connected with meeting schedules and club announcements.

Route Library – Save, favorite, and share routes. Browse community routes with safety scores and warning overlays (uneven pavement, poor lighting, loose dogs) before you head out.

Emergency Contact Card – An at-a-glance card with one-tap call/text access for you, with visibility for watchers when it matters most.

Strava & RunSignUp Integration – Sync completed activities to Strava so you don't double-track. Connect RunSignUp to discover and manage races. Both optional.

Apple Watch Companion – Start, pause, and manage your run from your wrist.

Why runners choose RunSafe
Most fitness apps track pace, not safety. RunSafe adds real-time visibility for runners and quiet assurance for families — before, during, and after every run.

Privacy & data
Your location and personal data are never sold or shared with third parties. Data is encrypted in transit. You can delete your data or entire account any time.

### 5/5 — Peace of mind

*2025-11-08*

I used Runsafe during the Bourbon Chase and it worked flawlessly, making me feel safe and supported every step of the way- even when running in the dark.  Having my friends as my “Watchers” ment while I was running at night ment I was never truly alone.  Now that it is getting dark early I send a link to my husband so he can be my “Watcher” as I walk the dogs around the neighborhood.   I am more at ease having Runsafe installed on my phone and knowing that my friends and family are keeping an eye out for my safety.

### 5/5 — Great Idea!

*2025-10-04*

My wife uses this for morning walks and her evening runs.. makes it super easy to know things are okay!
