For running clubs and groups
Your club has a WhatsApp group, a Sunday meet-up and thirty people who spend the rest of the week running alone with no idea what anyone else is doing. PaceRivals turns those scattered kilometres into a weekly leaderboard everyone actually checks.
Clubs don't lose people on group runs. They lose them on Tuesday evenings, when it's raining and nobody knows whether anyone else is heading out.
The WhatsApp group is good for organising, not for motivating: screenshots from whatever app get buried between messages, nobody keeps score, and by the next week there's no trace of who trained. No record means no comparison, and without comparison you lose the one thing that gets a regular runner out the door: knowing someone else did go.
One group with its own invite code. You can have several: one per pace, one per section, or one for everybody.
Each member joins in one tap and connects Apple Health or Health Connect. From then on their runs come in on their own, with nothing to log by hand.
The weekly ranking calculates itself and resets every Monday. Nobody has to keep count or chase screenshots.
A route challenge to cover the Camino de Santiago's kilometres together, or a custom challenge for the week. Members launch 1v1 duels between themselves.
An automatic weekly ranking of the whole club's kilometres. It resets every Monday, so whoever's last always gets a fresh week.
The club completes a real route together by adding up everyone's kilometres, and watches the progress on the map. It's what works best to get the non-competitive members involved too.
Members challenge each other for a week. Great for pairing up people of similar pace inside a big club.
Split the club into several groups so everyone competes with people at their pace. Nobody loses heart for being thirty kilometres behind the leader.
Every member gets a notification when someone overtakes them. The organiser no longer has to be the one nagging.
Each runner keeps a streak of training days and unlocks achievements. It works even for people who aren't out to win anything.
It isn't club management software: it doesn't collect membership fees, keep medical records or handle race entries. It's the competitive side of day-to-day running — who runs, how much and against whom. If you need admin tools, this won't cover it.
It takes less time than reading this page: create the group, share the link in the club's WhatsApp and you'll have a leaderboard by Monday. It's free for everyone who joins.
If your club has more than twenty people, write to us and we'll help you get it set up: groups by pace, the first route challenge and the leaderboard ready for Monday.
Nothing for members: joining groups and competing is free, with no limit on people. Only whoever creates several groups needs Premium (€4.99/month), so in a typical club it's enough for the organiser to have it.
No. PaceRivals reads what's already in Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android), so if a runner uses a watch or any running app, their runs show up on their own after training.
That's the normal case, which is why it's worth splitting it into several groups by pace instead of one group with everyone. A ranking where the same person always wins stops motivating within a week; several small groups keep everyone in with a chance.
Only people with the invite code. The group is private by default. If at some point you want to open it up to attract new local runners, you can do that from the group settings, and close it again whenever you like.
Yes. The group owner can remove a member — they leave the leaderboard and can't rejoin, even with the code — and can also change the invite code if it's been shared more widely than intended.
Absolutely. In fact it's the most common case: four or five people who run together and want a bit of rivalry the rest of the week. There's no minimum size.
