UltraPlan Run is the most complete ultramarathon planning app available. From your first 50K to your tenth 100-miler, everything to plan smarter, race better, and finish prepared, now with a live crew page too. YOUR RACE DASHBOARD All your races in one place, each card shows name, date, distance, and a live countdown. Tap for directions, pin your next race, and keep a full history. INTELLIGENT RACE PLANNING Upload a GPX file and UltraPlan builds your race segments: distances, elevation, ETAs, and daylight. With named waypoints, the plan builds in seconds. Adjust pace, add stops, watch your finish update live. ADAPTIVE PACING FROM YOUR OWN DATA Upload a FIT file from a past race, or record a calibration run, for a personalised pacing profile. Every segment gets its own predicted time and ETA, so your finish reflects how you run the terrain, not flat averages. CREW LIVE LINK & RACE DAY BEACON Send your crew one link by text. It opens in any browser, no app or account needed, and shows your live position, each checkpoint ticking off as you arrive, your splits and pace against plan, and live ETAs for every stop. Flip on the beacon at the start and run. TRAINING LOG & RACE READINESS Track the build-up, not just race day. UltraPlan pulls runs from Apple Health and merges FIT and GPX imports: weekly volume, heart-rate and sleep trends, max-HR. A readiness read from your HRV and resting heart rate, against your baseline, flags when you're recovering, steady, or fatigued, with taper, recovery, and illness alerts. APPLE WATCH & WIDGETS Readiness on your wrist, plus Smart Stack complications and a live countdown. On iPhone, pin a race to your Home Screen with a countdown and elevation profile. LIVE RACE TRACKING On race day, UltraPlan becomes a real-time companion. Live ETA on the lock screen and Dynamic Island, auto-advance through checkpoints, off-course detection. Lock your phone and run. TRAIL TRACK & FIND YOUR WAY BACK On recces and training runs, record a breadcrumb and let UltraPlan guide you home along your own path, not a straight-line shortcut. A built-in SOS screen shares your exact position to read out even with no signal. NUTRITION PLANNING Fuel segment by segment with a database of leading race brands. Add custom foods, set carb and sodium targets, and let Smart Fill build a balanced plan. Assign drop bags and get a full pack-and-shop list for race week. SUPPORT CREW Assign crew to each checkpoint from your Contacts, share plans and shopping lists for clean handovers, and set sleep-stop wake messages so they know when to move you on. COURSE, WEATHER & ELEVATION Per-checkpoint forecasts and live conditions for recces. Heat factors adjust your pace for hot weather, and kit advice flags wet-cold risk: spare waterproofs, dry layers, where to stage them. Elevation profile and route map. SAFETY & HEALTH MONITORING Record body weight with thresholds for healthy loss and gain. UltraPlan alerts you when projected loss enters a caution or high-risk zone, critical in heat. One-tap Emergency SOS shares your problem and location. RACE DAY PACK & KIT Tick off the mandatory kit checklist and add race-specific items, then export a PDF pack: segments, ETAs, nutrition, drop bags, kit, contacts, weather, and logistics in one file. A condensed Quick Card folds into a drop bag; export as CSV. LOGISTICS & SHARING Log travel, hotels, and transport, with reminders for registration and a morning-of alarm. Share a plan with another UltraPlan user, and compare runs segment by segment when you've raced it before. ULTRAPLAN PRO (one-time, lifetime, Family Sharing) The free tier plans one race with most tools. Pro unlocks unlimited races, live tracking, Crew Live Link, FIT and heat-adjusted pacing, training log and readiness, race comparison, full PDF and Quick Card, CSV export, Smart Fill, custom food and kit with iCloud sync, widgets, full weather, and Dark theme. Plan the miles. Trust the plan. Run the race. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | UltraPlan Pro | $14.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 3.4 — 2026-07-28 Connect your Strava account. • Auto-Pace: turn a past Strava run into a pacing plan. • Training Log: import your recent Strava runs. • Various fixes and improvements. ### 3.3 — 2026-07-26 Improvements to the race day beacon and Crew Live Link. • More reliable when signal is poor, so your crew keep getting updates. • Clearer beacon status, so you can see at a glance that it is working. • Various fixes and improvements. ### 3.2 — 2026-07-19 Improvements to Crew Live Link reliability and a few small bug fixes. ### 3.1 — 2026-07-19 UltraPlanRun update: your crew can follow your race live. • Crew Live Link (Pro): send your crew one link by text or WhatsApp. It opens in any browser, no app or account on their side, and shows your live position, each checkpoint ticking off as you reach it, your splits and pace against plan, live ETAs for every crew stop, and your phone battery so they can tell a long aid-station stop from a dead phone. • Race day beacon: flip it on at the start line and put your phone away. It sends your position every few minutes, is very light on battery over a full day, runs alongside the watch that is recording your race, handles loop and lap courses, and switches itself off when you finish. • Private by design: your crew sees your race and nothing else. The link stops working 48 hours after you finish, and all location data is deleted. Tap Stop sharing to delete everything sooner. ### 3.0 — 2026-07-12 UltraPlanRun 3.0 — your plan now reads the weather: • Heat-adjusted pacing (Pro): UltraPlanRun reads the forecast at each checkpoint and suggests a heat factor for your pace plan — hot afternoon segments slow down, cool night segments don't. Apply it to one checkpoint or review the whole race in a single sheet, with the finish-time impact shown before you confirm. You always have the final say, and your ETAs, splits, and crew PDF stay in step. • Kit advice on the weather cards: rain and wind-chill now drive wet-cold warnings — spare waterproofs, dry base layers, and where to stage them with your crew or drop bags. A new banner flags sustained rain across consecutive segments so you can plan dry kit ahead. • Smarter conditions: a feels-like temperature catches the cold-wet-windy days a thermometer alone misses, and night segments now count as night in every weather recommendation. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
