Live Run Spectating
Run With Friends lets your crew follow along in real time — drop audio messages at points along the route and your runner hears them right when they pass by.
The Process
The runner opens the app, draws their planned route on the map, and taps Start. A unique share link is generated automatically.
The runner shares their link with friends and family. Anyone with the link can open it in a browser — no account needed — and watch the run unfold in real time.
Spectators tap anywhere on the route map to place a waypoint, then record or upload an audio message. When the runner reaches that spot, the message plays automatically.
Built For Runners & Their People
Watch your runner's exact position update in real time on an interactive map. Distance, pace, and elapsed time all update live.
Record or upload audio messages and pin them to any point on the route. Your runner hears them the moment they arrive — like a cheer squad that's always in the right place.
Spectators need nothing installed. Just a browser link. Share it in a group chat and your whole crew can follow along instantly.
The planned route is automatically snapped to real roads, so the map view is clean and the distance measurements are accurate.
Spectator views poll continuously so the position, pace, and stats are always fresh — no manual refreshing needed.
The runner experience is a fully native iOS app with background GPS tracking, smooth UI, and an offline-tolerant design built for being out on the road.
Download the app, plan your route, and share the link before your next run.
