Strider vs RunCats

Strider is the easiest way to find people to run with, right when you want to run. Whether you're new in town, bored of solo runs, or just want company for intervals, long runs, or easy miles, Strider helps you turn "I'm running" into "We're running". Easily see when and where your friends are running this week, and join them for a run that fits your schedule. How it works - Create a run in seconds: time, meeting point, pace, vibe - Join runs nearby that match how you feel that day - Chat inside each run to coordinate, say hi, or hype each other up - Show up and run together - no awkward DMs, no WhatsApp chaos Whether you’re training for a race, running with a local club, or just looking to meet like-minded runners, Strider makes it easy to find your people and run together. Some runs weren't meant to be solo.
