Run to own the map. Terrarun turns every run into a real territory war. Run a loop and the ground you enclose becomes yours drawn in your color on a city map every runner shares. Rivals can run the same streets and take it straight back. CLAIM REAL GROUND • Close a loop and capture the actual area inside it, measured in m² • Your territory shows in your color to every runner in the city • Steal from rivals by running through their turf — and lose yours the same way • No protected ground. Any territory can be taken, at any time EVERY RUN ENDS IN A TAKEOVER • Watch your new ground flood the city map the moment you stop • The leaderboard re-ranks live, so you see exactly who you passed • Replay the run that won it, drawn out on a 3D night map A SERIOUS RUN TRACKER UNDERNEATH • GPS tracking with pace, splits, distance, elevation and your full route • Keeps recording with your phone locked in your pocket • Apple Watch app with a live map on your wrist — start from the watch alone • Apple Health, full run history, personal records and weekly stats • Route planner that snaps to real streets, with run-day reminders CLUBS ARE FACTIONS • Your club has a crest, a color and a war record • Live club-vs-club territory battles • Club chat and a ranked member list COMPETE EVERY WEEK • Weekly leagues with promotion and relegation • Global, country and city leaderboards • Named rivals, timed events, achievements and weekly streaks Run 5K, train for a marathon, or just walk your neighborhood — every step takes ground.
