Collect badges on every run and walk. Loop a landmark like Big Ben and its badge is yours; close a loop anywhere and the ground inside is yours, until a clubmate takes it back. Treadline records your runs and walks — distance, pace, elevation gain and the route you took — puts everyone you know on the same board, and adds the year up into something you can actually look back on. Start it yourself, or let it start itself. Automatic tracking picks up sustained runs and everyday walks with your phone in your pocket, pauses at short stops, and ends the session when you are done. COLLECT LANDMARKS • 1,700+ famous Icons to claim, from Big Ben to the Golden Gate Bridge • 5,900+ City landmarks, each with its own artwork • Local spots near you: loop parks, lakes and more • Build your skyline of claimed landmarks and share it • See who else claimed each landmark on its claim board TRACK EVERY RUN AND WALK • Distance, pace, moving time and elevation gain • Splits cut per mile or kilometer, and a pace line for the whole activity • Your route on the map, and a flyover replay of it afterwards • Spoken updates while you go, so you do not have to look • Automatic start and auto-pause, or tap Start yourself YOUR YEAR, ADDING UP • Active days, total distance, total climb, moving time • Personal records called out the moment you beat one • A recap after every activity: route, effort, and what is next • Add a photo to a run you have just finished MOVE WITH FRIENDS • See friends on the map while you are both out • Follow a friend's run live • Leaderboards by distance, gain, activities, active time or best pace • Clubs — start one with your friends, compete for ground on your club's map, and put a group run on the calendar • Share any activity as a post, a story, or a transparent overlay for your own photo APPLE HEALTH • Runs, walks and routes saved to Health • Heart rate, active energy and cadence read back onto every activity • Steps, exercise minutes, cardio fitness and resting heart rate beside your own stats PRIVATE WHEN YOU WANT IT • Hide your live location from friends — sessions still save privately • Hide your activity from everyone, at any time • Block or report anyone • Analytics can be switched off in settings FREE, AND PRO Recording, distance, pace, elevation gain, friends, leaderboards, this year's routes and stats, and heart rate and energy on every activity are free.

About

Deadstride

Real zombies. Real streets. Your legs. Deadstride turns every run or walk into a chase. A horde appears in the streets around you and follows you through the actual road network. Keep moving, pick your turns, and don't let them close the gap. • A REAL CHASE — The zombies follow real streets, cut corners and close in. You lose them by running and turning, not by standing still. • SURVIVE THE 5K — An 8-week beginner plan. Weeks 1 and 2 are walked, then the horde's top speed rises week after week until you can last 5 km. Caught? You are bitten and you keep going — three bites and the session is to redo. • PLAYED BY EAR — Voice callouts and zombie sounds in 3D: with headphones you hear where each one is. Walkers moan, runners snarl, clickers click. Dark ambient music rises as they get close. • WAVES, BONUSES, SHELTERS — Adrenaline, blackouts, purges and risky crates on the street. Shelters hide you for the time you earned by running. • RUN OR WALK — Two modes, each tuned to your pace. The horde is always calibrated to you. • YOUR PROGRESS — Distance, time, pace, steps, calories, weekly streak, and every run with its route. • SHARE YOUR CLOSEST CALL — Turn the moment a zombie was three metres away into a vertical video. • LOCK SCREEN — A Live Activity shows the wave and the nearest zombie while your phone is in your pocket. No account. No ads. Your runs stay on your phone. Safety first: the game is played by ear. Watch the road, use crossings and respect traffic lights. Lace up. They're already coming.
