Runnit is the easiest way to find and host pickup sports games in your area. No leagues. No fees. No commitments. Just real games with real people. We've all been there. You want to hoop, kick a ball around, or play pickleball, but you don't know who's playing or where. You text the group chat, half the people don't respond, and you end up on your couch. Runnit fixes that. FIND GAMES NEAR YOU Browse pickup games on a map or list. Filter by sport: basketball, soccer, pickleball, or volleyball. See what's happening today, this week, or whenever you're free. Every game shows the venue, time, skill level, and how many spots are left. HOST YOUR OWN Post a game in seconds. Pick the sport, set the venue, choose the time, and say how many players you need. Share a link to fill it fast. Add notes like "bring your own ball" or "winners stay on." JOIN UP One tap to join a game. The headcount is live, so when someone joins or drops, everyone knows. Know exactly how many spots are left before you lace up. GAME CHAT Every game has a built-in chat room tied to the run, not your main group thread from 2019. Coordinate with other players before you show up. Messages are real-time so you're always in the loop. SKILL LEVELS Games are tagged as beginner, intermediate, advanced, or all levels. Find runs that match your vibe, whether you're just learning or looking for serious competition. FOUR SPORTS Basketball. Soccer. Pickleball. Volleyball. Pick your sport. We'll handle the rest. YOUR PROFILE See your full game history: how many you've hosted, how many you've joined, and your stats across every sport. NOTIFICATIONS Get notified when someone joins or leaves your game, or when someone sends a message in your game chat. No algorithms deciding what you see. No social media noise. Just pickup games, organized simply. Run it back.

You drove twenty minutes. Every court is taken. CourtQuest tells you where to play before you leave the house. It scores the courts around you on how long they'll actually take to reach and how busy they're likely to be right now, then points you at the winner. WHAT IT DOES • Smart recommendations — Ranks nearby courts by real driving time and live busyness, not straight-line distance. The court two miles away isn't always the fast one. • Eight sports, one app — Tennis, pickleball, basketball, baseball, volleyball, soccer, football, and handball. • Know before you go — Popular times, hours, court count, lighting, reservation policy, and amenities on every court page. • Hourly weather — Forecasts pulled straight from the National Weather Service, so you know whether the next two hours hold. • Quests — Start a session when you arrive and CourtQuest tracks it on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Your play history builds as you go. • Favorites — Pin your regulars and pull them up in a tap. • Directions in one tap — Hand off to your preferred maps app and go. HOW IT WORKS Pick your sports. Share your location. CourtQuest scores every court within range, ranks them, and shows you the one worth driving to. When you get there, start a Quest and it keeps time while you play. YOUR LOCATION STAYS YOURS CourtQuest uses your location to calculate distances and nothing else. It is never stored on our servers — it's used momentarily, then gone. BUILT FOR • Players who'd rather warm up than wait • Anyone new to a city looking for a game • Regulars who want their courts one tap away • Weekend hitters checking the sky before the drive HELP US GET IT RIGHT Court missing? Hours wrong? Report it from inside the app and we'll fix it. The map gets better because players tell us where it's off. Elevate your Play. Embrace the Quest. Questions or a court to add?
