RunMatch turns Strava activity into real-money competitions with friends. Connect your account once, and every GPS run counts toward a winnable pot.
Link your Strava account once during onboarding. After that, every GPS-tracked run is automatically credited toward your active competitions.
Manual entries are blocked. Pace caps prevent driving-as-running cheats. Strava's GPS data is the source of truth.
Buy-ins, payouts, and withdrawals through Stripe. Strava verifies the run, RunMatch handles the money.
Real money on the line means real verification. Anyone can claim they ran 10 miles — Strava's GPS data is what makes it true. That's why RunMatch is built on top of Strava instead of using its own tracking.
You don't open RunMatch to track a run. You open Strava like normal, run your route, and end the activity. RunMatch picks it up via Strava's webhook within seconds and updates your competition standings.
Run 1 mile through Strava, we'll send you $10. Then challenge your friends.
Connect Strava + StartThree ways to bet on your Strava runs:
The whole flow is under 60 seconds:
RunMatch reads your Strava activities through their official API. When you start and stop a run on Strava, the activity syncs automatically and counts toward any competition you're in.
No. The free Strava account is all you need. Just connect it once during RunMatch onboarding.
Only if you share. RunMatch competitions are private by default. Your Strava activities still post to your Strava feed normally.
GPS-verified runs prevent cheating. Manual entries and treadmill runs without Strava won't count. This is what makes real-money competitions trustworthy.
Make sure the activity is set to 'Run' on Strava and is not marked as manual. RunMatch picks it up within seconds via Strava's webhook.
