## What is RunSafe?

Most running apps track your pace. RunSafe watches for the run that goes wrong.

GUARDIAN NOTICES, THEN IT ASKS
Guardian watches your movement, pace, route and time while you run — a sudden stop, a wrong turn, a pace that doesn't fit, a run gone long. When something looks wrong it asks you first: one tap to say you're fine. Only if you can't answer does it tell the people you chose. Every signal has its own sensitivity, and you can switch any of them off.

LIVE LOCATION FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WORRY
Share your run in real time with watchers you pick from your contacts. They see where you are, how long you've been out, and whether your phone is still reporting in. If they need to reach you, one tap gives them driving directions to your last known position.

YOUR WATCHERS DON'T NEED THE APP
Add someone by phone number and they get a text with a private link. It opens in any browser — no download, no account, nothing to set up.

KNOW THE STREET BEFORE YOU RUN IT
Browse routes with safety scores and warnings left by other runners: poor lighting, uneven pavement, loose dogs. Save your own routes, favorite the ones that work, and see what's on a route before you head out.

START AND FINISH ALERTS, ON YOUR TERMS
Automatic start and finish messages to the people you choose, with granular control over which alerts you send and which you receive.

EMERGENCY CONTACT CARD
Keep your emergency contact one tap from a call or text, and visible to a watcher at the moment it matters.

RACES
Find and join local races, and keep the ones you've entered in one place.

WORKS WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY USE
Sync finished runs to Strava so you're not double-tracking. Connect RunSignUp to discover races. Both optional. Pause, resume and finish from your Apple Watch, or drop a marker on the map without breaking stride.

WHY RUNNERS CHOOSE RUNSAFE
A tracking app shows someone where you were. RunSafe notices when something changes, asks you about it, and escalates only if you can't answer.

PRIVACY
Your location and personal data are never sold or shared with third parties. Data is encrypted in transit. Location reporting stops when your run ends. You can delete your data or your entire account at 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!
