RunThatUp is social fitness for people who actually show up. Create or join competitive events for steps, distance, or calories. Apple Health tracks the work. Live leaderboards keep it honest. Chat and live streams keep the crew in it. PULSE The new Pulse feed is the heartbeat of the community. See someone crush a goal, hit halfway, drop a new event, or go live — then jump in with one tap. Cheer them on, open a profile, or watch what’s happening right now. EVENTS Set a target, pick a window, and race. Browse upcoming, live, joined, and recent events. One active event at a time so the score means something. Join free, or paid events with Apple Pay. LIVE + CHAT Host a live stream for your event or hop in as a viewer. Event chat stays with the group so the energy doesn’t die when the workout ends. TRACKING Steps, distance, and calories sync from Apple Health — including in the background — so the leaderboard updates while you move. Compete. Cheer. Run that up.
