About

RecRun

Features
Read full description

Run against everyone who ever ran here. RecRun is an outdoor GPS running app with a twist: every course remembers the people who ran it, and their records come back as named ghosts. An empty street becomes a starting line. A solo jog becomes a race. RACE GHOSTS IN REAL TIME Pick a course and the runners who came before you line up around your position. Watch yourself overtake them one by one — live rank, gaps ahead and behind, all spoken so your eyes stay on the road. Nobody has to run at the same time as you. That is the point. BUILD YOUR OWN COURSE Draw a route on the map, or just run free and turn your path into a course. Publish it and watch other runners take it on — or keep it private, and it never leaves your phone. EVENT RACES WITH A PREMIERE Enter an event and run it whenever suits you during the window. Ranks stay hidden until the end — then, at the premiere, everyone watches the whole field replayed together on one track: overtakes, highlights, final standings and medals revealed at the same moment. Crew versus crew, runner versus runner. EYES UP, NOT DOWN Audio first. Distance, pace, turns, rivals and finish calls are spoken. The screen is a heads-up display you can read in three seconds. APPLE WATCH Distance, pace, time and course position on your wrist, with haptics for checkpoints, off-course warnings and the finish. YOUR LOCATION STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Runs are shared as anonymised checkpoint times only — no coordinates, no timestamps. Your raw GPS trace never leaves your device. Publishing a course is a separate button you press yourself, per save. Free to download. Every event currently open is free to enter.
