  4. So what’s the idea, exactly?

  5. 9:42The idea

    A ranking cut to your size

    Every Monday you join nine other people who run or walk like you. Your first two weeks place you, in a group of six only, and first place is already up for grabs there.

    The distance ranking

    1You31.4 km
    2Night Owl29.8 km
    3Sunday Runner27.1 km
    4Early Bird24.6 km
    5Park Ghost22.3 km
    6Evening Sprinter21.0 km
    7Canal Ambler19.4 km

    The territory ranking

    1Loop Queen5.1 km²
    2You4.2 km²
    3Block Surveyor3.9 km²
    4Draws-Everything3.4 km²
    5Hurried Walker2.8 km²
    6Shortcut King2.3 km²
    7Easy Stroller1.7 km²

    Every kilometre covered over the week adds up, and whoever covers the most of them wins.

    Everything the loop encloses becomes your territory. Here it is square kilometres that decide, not kilometres. Walking and running count together.

    What playing earns you

    850Goldies01 000

    Goldies are the in-game currency, earned by playing.

    They cannot be bought: only activity earns them.

    Race Numbers get you into a Challenge +.

    A Race Number is worth 1,000 Goldies. Some levels award them too.

  16. Is there a paid version?

  18. And if I want to know more?
    9:48 Read
    1. 9:50

      Yes. Your group brings together ten people at a level close to yours, not athletes who have been training for ten years. Your first two weeks are there to place you, and the group is only six people then.

    2. 9:51

      Yes. You only play against people who picked the same sport as you, so walking never puts you at a disadvantage. Over the same distance, walking earns exactly as much as running.

    3. 9:52

      Only inside a private group, and only if two things are true at once: you allowed it, and you are friends. Your route is then published without its first 100 metres and without its last 100, and with no time of day. You can push that margin to 150, 200 or 300 metres.

    4. 9:53

      Yes, as GPX or TCX. They join your history and your totals, but not the ranking, which a made-up file would distort.

    5. 9:54

      Levels, achievements and titles, plus the in-game currency, which is earned by playing and never bought. No prizes are at stake during the beta.

    6. 9:55

      Yes, that is the referral scheme. Whoever you invite gets a Half Race Number on their first activity, half of what a Challenge + costs, and neither of you pays anything.

    7. 9:56

      In the app, right at the bottom of Settings, without writing to anyone. You have to type the word DELETE to confirm, and it is final. You can export your whole account first, as a readable document.
