Join RunGo’s Run the World challenge!
Unlocked! Free for Global Running Day, 2 June 2021
Travel with us around the world to some of the most inspiring places to run.
You have 3 weeks to run the current course, before we drop a new route from around the world.
Load up the current stage’s 5km route and run!
Follow the real course – if you’re fortunate to be there – with voice navigation, or use RunGo’s Virtual Modes in our iPhone and Android apps - and be transported to the route with memorable audio messages.
This is not just a plain, tracked run or walk with GPS... along the way, we have some great audio messages, immersive sounds, and stories about the route and the island.
Run the World challenge is available for RunGo Premium subscribers (* unlocked for June 2), so get started today! Upgrade in the apps (iPhone or Android) or on the web here 👉
