RouteRush for iOS

RouteRush

Running is how
you take ground.

01 — Record

Start a run or a ride. RouteRush follows your line at street resolution, and keeps recording when the signal drops out.

02 — Conquer

Close a loop and the ground inside it turns yours. Territory follows the streets you ran, at the resolution you ran them.

03 — Hold it

Territory becomes Rush Points, Rush Points become rank, and rank resets every week. The map is only yours while you keep running.

The difference

A tracker tells you where you went.
RouteRush tells you what you took.

The same run, scored differently. Distance and pace are the receipt. The map is the score — a permanent record of the streets you have actually covered, block by block, against everyone else covering theirs.

2.5 m: Street resolutionYour line is kept to two-and-a-half-metre fidelity, at ride speed as at running pace.
3D: Real globeYour territory rendered on a true sphere, not a flat tile sheet.
0: Bars of signal requiredActivities queue offline and sync themselves the moment you are back.

Ground taken

The map remembers every street you have taken.

Close a loop on your run and everything inside it becomes yours, in the shape of the streets you took. Come back a different way and the shape of what you own changes.

Distance earns, ground earns more. Every kilometre earns, a running streak multiplies it, and new ground earns on top — only ground you did not already hold, so the same loop cannot be farmed.

Ground changes hands. Nobody wears your claim down — they take it. A rival who closes a loop over your ground has the overlap cut out the moment their run saves.

It compounds. Territory carries between runs, so a neighbourhood is something you build over months.

Boldi, the in-run coach

A coach in your ear, not a podcast.

Boldi watches the run as it happens — your pace, the ground ahead, how much you have left — and, on a coached run, says something when it is worth saying. The rest of the time he is quiet, so your music keeps playing.

Timed to the effort. Prompts arrive at splits and decision points, not on a fixed timer.

Aware of the map. He knows which ground is still unclaimed on the route in front of you.

Free: Tracking, territory, leagues, clubs and the feed.
Pro: Text chat with Boldi whenever you want, and one run a month he talks you through.
Ultra: Everything in Pro, and Boldi talks you through every run.

Both tiers also carry a verified badge and unlimited username changes.

Live Activity & widget

Most of a run happens with the app closed.

Time, distance and pace stay on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and stay interactive — pause and resume without unlocking. The Home Screen widget opens straight to Start.

Leagues

Thirty runners.
One week.
Five go up.

Every week you join a league at your tier, up to thirty runners. The top sixth goes up and the bottom sixth goes down — five each way in a full league — and everyone starts again on Monday. Three scoring runs is the price of going up. Bronze, Silver and Gold, each with three divisions.

New to a tier? A newbie shield covers your first week, so a bad one cannot send you straight back down.

No roadmap items. These are in the app today.

Clubs and a feed worth reading

Join a club, post the run, comment on someone else's. The social feed is built around activities, so there is always something on the map behind the picture.

Club battles

Call out a rival club and set the clock — three hours to seven days. Every piece of ground your side takes counts, and it settles itself when time is up.

HealthKit, both ways

Steps, weight and heart rate read in. Workouts written back out.

Plans from first run to marathon

Four weeks built for your first runs, then 5K, 10K, half and full marathon. Free, week by week.

Offline queue

Tracking survives no signal. Activities queue on device and sync when the network returns.

Why it matters

The map only moves when you do.

Nothing on your map was given to you. Every inch of it is a street you actually ran.
