Running challenges where
effort beats mileage.

How it works
Bring your runs
Import your history from Garmin, Strava or a GPX/TCX/CSV file - or just log a run by hand. No new tracker to learn.
Join the challenge
You're instantly on the monthly leaderboard and matched into a weekly league of similar runners. No friends needed to start.
Compete
Climb the ladder, duel your rivals and earn a place in the Hall of Fame. Effort beats mileage, every time.
Effort beats mileage
Most leaderboards reward whoever has the most free time. FrontRunner scores on Strides - your distance weighted by your pace versus your own baseline. Run harder than usual and each kilometre is worth more (up to 1.5x); ease off and it's worth less. Everyone competes on fair terms, so a gutsy 5K can out-score someone's easy 10K.
Effort-equalised scoring
Strides weight your distance by your pace versus your own baseline - so improvement beats raw mileage and everyone has a shot at the top.
Live leaderboards
Log or import a run and the board reshuffles instantly. Challenges on distance, runs, elevation, streaks, team goals and more.
Weekly ranked leagues
Get matched into a weekly pack of similar runners and climb an eight-tier ladder - promote with the top fifth each week.
Head-to-head duels
Call out a rival over a distance, a time-trial or a streak, and settle once and for all who's faster.
Groups & private leagues
Start a group, share an invite link, and run your own challenges and a private weekly ladder with friends or colleagues.
Kudos, reactions & a feed
Cheer each other on with kudos, emoji reactions and comments on a shared feed of everyone's runs.
