## What is Yukan?

Yukan (勇敢)... the courage to explore new paths.
Every run you take leaves your mark on the world. Yukan transforms running into an act of courage... your GPS routes automatically become territories you own. Challenge yourself, blaze new trails, and discover what you're capable of.

CLAIM YOUR TERRITORY
  • Every run creates territory from your GPS route
  • Streets, parks, and paths become your domain
  • The longer you run, the more ground you claim

DEFEND YOUR GROUND
  • Get notified when rivals run through your territory
  • Defend by running there again, or lose it
  • Build your empire one run at a time

COMPETE GLOBALLY
  • Weekly, monthly, and all-time leaderboards
  • Rank by total territory, distance, and territories held
  • See where you stand in your city and worldwide

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
  • Real-time GPS tracking with accuracy indicators
  • Pace, distance, time, and calories
  • Apple Health integration for complete fitness data

JOIN THE COMMUNITY
  • Add rivals and track your competition
  • Create or join running clubs
  • Share your achievements and inspire others

WHY YUKAN?
The name comes from 勇敢 (yūkan or yukann), the Japanese word for "brave" or "courageous." Every run is an act of courage. Every route proves what you're capable of. Every path you blaze inspires others to be brave.

 Because you can.
