How it works

Share. Run. Climb.

Share your invite link

Every founding runner gets a unique link and a downloadable story card — share it with as many friends as you like.

Your friend runs their first 1 km

A referral counts only when they become a real, active runner — a GPS-verified run, not just a signup. Fair and spam-free.

Climb the race, earn free Premium

The more friends who lace up, the higher you climb the Founders’ Race — up to 3 months of Premium free.

The fair rule

Real runners count, not clicks

Rewards apply only after a friend installs the app and completes one GPS-verified 1 km run — so there’s nothing to gain from spamming a link to strangers. Invite people who’ll actually lace up; quality beats quantity.

Founding badge

Earn it once, keep it forever

Every founding runner earns a permanent Founding badge for their role — Runner, Creator, or Organizer — by running their first 1 km at launch. It can never be earned again after the founding window closes (15 September 2026). Add your role on the waitlist to reserve yours.

Founders’ Race questions

Do I need to pay to refer?

No. Anyone on the waitlist can refer from day one — it’s completely free.

When do I get my Premium?

Rewards unlock at launch, once your invited friends install the app and run their first 1 km.

Is there a limit on invites?

No — invite as many people as you like. Only the Premium reward caps out (3 months for runners).

What if my friend doesn’t run?

Then it doesn’t count toward your reward — but you’ve still brought a runner to the start line. 🏃
