Race your friends live, wherever they live now. One countdown for everyone, your own streets, their ghosts on your route at their real distance. Someone still has to lose.

Maya's ghost runs your route at her distance; yours runs hers. Same countdown, same clock, different cobbles. The gap is the only thing you share.Lisbon 19:00 · Berlin 20:00 · Toronto 14:00
A race takes less time to set up than the group chat about it.
Add friends by link or QR, or find them on Rivals. Anyone with the race code can join. Up to eight runners, and twenty more who'd rather watch and cheer.
First to a mile, 5K, 10K, a half, or your own number. Or most distance in 20, 30 or 60 minutes. Thursday is 5K. It's always been 5K.
The host taps Start, or the race starts at the time you agreed. The same ten seconds count down on every phone, whatever the local clock says.
One start, three clocks. Theo joined from a lunch break on the Toronto waterfront and complained about the wind. Maya's sun was long gone.

Everything you'd get from running next to them, minus the elbows.
Distance, pace, rank and the gap to every runner, in metres and seconds. It changes while you move, not when you look.
Each rival is drawn on your map at their distance. Maya shows up on Rua Augusta even though she's on Maybachufer.
Apple Watch or a Bluetooth strap. Heart rate, cadence and splits for everyone, during the race and after it.
Hold a button and say it. Your voice lands in her ear mid-stride. Mostly encouragement.
Audio cues for the gap, your pace and each split, so your eyes can stay on the cobbles.
Eight can race. Twenty more can watch and cheer from a sofa, an office, or a kitchen in a fourth time zone.
Strava is optional. Connect it and your Strava runs show up in your Rivals history, so Sunday's long one sits next to Thursday's loss. Turn on Sync races to Strava and every race, time trial and run you finish goes there as a normal run, heart rate and cadence included, with only your own result.
