Read full description

Choose from one of 9 maps and then record all the STRUCTURED runs and walks to virtually run the country or continent of your choice. We are not concerned with pace or elevation, only distance. Run or walk wherever you are, whatever time you like at whatever speed you like and upload it to our App to track you on a virtual journey. The distance you upload will move you along your map, no matter where you are. We automate with Strava, whereby your running, walking and hiking distance will automatically upload to our App. Alternatively, you can add manual entries by providing evidence using any other device (other than step counting profiles). We are not a Step counter…. All runs and walks must be structured, meaning no step profiles or incidental activity can be added, only runs or walks where you make the conscious decision to get out the door or off the couch. Your journey is a long-term commitment - broken down into smaller segments along the way. Emails are sent every time you reach towns and cities during your journey. Educational and informative, these milestones keep you motivated and engaged during your membership. * Monthly competitions are held to further enhance your experience. As part of your membership these monthly competitions will provide an extra tool to keep you motivated on your journey. * Interact with Friends. Communicate with them via the App and track their journey via their map and leader boards. Get your running club involved and set up a team with your own leader boards and group chats. * Leader boards will also help with motivation. Filter by your map, your gender, your age, weekly, monthly, yearly and overall to see how you are going against the rest of the database or filter to see how you are going against your friends or your running club. * Check out a vast array of stats as you accumulate runs and walks. Your profile is easily accessible and keeps you accountable. And we are more than just an App – we are a community. Keep an eye out for social catch ups, finishers celebrations, organized member events and more – all part of your membership. Free for 28 Days. Then monthly subscription available.
