★ frequently asked ★

faqs.

The questions we've been getting.

★ matching + run club ★
how does matching work?

Submit the find-your-running-date form. Captains review your city, pace, vibe (running partner, first date or byo date) and your answers. Real humans match, no algorithm, no swipe interface. You get an invite by email to a captain-led group meetup. Matching launches alongside the first drop.

do you verify identity?

Yes, once, before your first meetup. A captain confirms your photo ID matches your application and that you're 18+. We never store or photograph the ID. You'll also sign a participant waiver at that first meetup.

what's the waiver?

A one-page liability waiver and assumption of risk you sign at your first meetup. It covers running, group fitness, photo and video opt-in, code of conduct and emergency contact.

is this a dating app?

No. There's no swipe interface, no algorithm and no profile photos shared between users. It's a captain-led run club with three matching modes. "Running partner" is friendship-only.

what if i don't see my city?

Pick "Other (we're coming)" and we'll add you to a waitlist for your city. We open new cities as captain applications fill them.

how do you pick captains?
