Run 1 mile — $10 lands
$10 hits your wallet. No buy-in, no catch.
|
Your first mile pays $10. Every mile after earns you more — through competitions with friends, run clubs, and daily stakes.
Built for runners, run clubs, and group chats that are tired of empty trash talk. Verified runs, real stakes, real consequences, and the leaderboard that settles every argument.
If you didn't earn it, it doesn't count.
Stakes are optional. But they change everything.
Compete with others. Compete with yourself.
Two paths — both end with money in your pocket. Compete with your run club, or stake your daily goals against yourself.
Everyone says they're going to run more. Start a running competition and find out who actually does. Share a code with your run club or group chat, set the buy-in, and let the leaderboard settle it. Winner takes the pot.
"I set a 6AM deadline with $25 on the line. Haven't missed a morning workout in 3 weeks. My alarm doesn't stand a chance anymore."
"Started a running comp with my roommate. He talked so much trash. I beat him by 12 miles and he had to pay up. Best $20 I ever made."
"I've tried every habit app. This is the only one that worked because it's the only one with consequences. When you might lose money, you show up."
Download RunMatch and finish 1 mile on Strava — we'll send $10 to your wallet.

RunMatch is built for run clubs, training groups, and friend chats. Spin up a weekly running challenge for your crew — winner takes the pot. Works for 2 friends or 200. Group competitions scale with the buy-in.
Real money on the line means we need real verification. Strava's GPS tracking eliminates fake miles, manual entries, and treadmill-only competitions. Every run must be started and stopped on Strava to count toward a competition.
No. RunMatch is a skill-based competition platform — outcomes depend on your running performance, not chance. Same legal model as Daily Fantasy Sports and commitment-contract platforms. You're betting on yourself, not a roll of the dice.
As much as your group is willing to put up. A 4-person match with $25 buy-ins creates a $100 pot. The bigger the group, the bigger the prize. We've seen single competitions pay out $500+. Plus your free $10 starter race for showing up.
