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 • Own a landmark: the last runner to loop it holds it, and you hear when someone takes it 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 • Apple Watch app: start a run or walk from your wrist and see your route • Garmin sync: runs from your Garmin watch come in by themselves (Pro) • Pick a runner character to run your route on the map 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.

Make every run yours. Run Walk Pro combines flexible workouts, run recording and a personal journal in one straightforward iPhone and Apple Watch app. BUILD YOUR OWN WORKOUT Combine walking, slow running, running and fast running. Add warm-ups and cool-downs, repeat groups of intervals, and set optional target speeds or paces. Start with an example workout or create your own. JUST GO FOR A RUN Prefer to run without a plan? Start an open run and record your distance, pace and outdoor route. TAKE IT TO YOUR WRIST Follow your workout on Apple Watch with clear interval information, sounds and haptic alerts. Pause, resume and finish from your wrist. Once the workout is running on your Watch, you can leave your phone behind. KEEP YOUR RUNNING JOURNAL Save recordings and find them again by name, date or distance. Review your route and workout details. DISCOVER YOUR PERSONAL BESTS See your fastest 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon—even when achieved within a longer run. Each best links to its source workout. Bests use Pro recordings only; previous Apple Health workouts are not imported. SAVE TO APPLE HEALTH Choose whether to save a recording to Apple Health. Pro remembers exported workouts and, with Health read permission, checks for overlapping recordings to help avoid duplicates. YOUR PREFERRED UNITS Choose metric or imperial distance and your preferred speed or pace units. THREE RUNS FREE Try three completed, saved runs without entering payment details. Discarded workouts do not count. After that, subscribe to continue recording. Your saved history remains accessible without an active subscription. The UK subscription price is £2.99 every three months. Prices elsewhere are shown in your local currency before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account subscription settings. No login or advertising. Outdoor route recording requires location permission. Watch recording uses Apple Health permissions. Indoor iPhone mode provides timing without measuring distance. Recorded distances and personal bests are estimates, not certified race results.
