The offer, plainly
That's it. No catch, no card, no "upgrade to be eligible".

How it works
One button. We match you with two other Sparkies. No picking teams, no being picked last.
Log a run, open the app, hold zone 2, string your weeks together. Every one of them scores.
The highest tribe score at month end takes the prize. Everyone resets to zero. Go again.
Why three
Quitting alone is easy. Quitting on your tribe is not. That's the whole mechanism, and it's why this works when the other apps didn't.
Go quiet for a week and your crew nudges you out the door. Turn up and you're the one dragging them along. Either way, nobody runs their month alone.
Winning has nothing to do with who ran furthest or fastest. It means all three of you kept showing up.
Your tribe, your rules
A tribe is not a random lobby you're stuck in. You run it.
Send a link and they're in your tribe. The people who already nag you to run now score points for it.
Survivor style. Two votes and the ghost is gone, and a live runner takes the seat. Your month is never sunk by someone who quit in week one.
Matched badly? Leave and rematch. No penalty, no waiting.
Every tribe gets a customised boat on the global voyage. Every run moves it further across the sea. Open the map and see exactly where your three are against every other tribe in the world.
So the only way your tribe goes quiet is if you let it.
The points
No distance. No pace. No PBs. A beginner and a marathoner score identically for the same effort, so a tribe of beginners can win.
Country leaderboard
Every eligible run lifts your country. Another way to compete without turning every run into a PB attempt.
The app
Unlimited logging, streaks, full history, and a recovery read on each run so you know when to push and when to back off.
Free base and engine plans. Race blueprints from 5K to marathon when you want a coach in your corner.
Every run adds to the weekly world board.
An AI running coach built on Ben's plans and coaching, plus a feed of real runners logging real runs. Zero egos.
Your tribe's boat moves across the global voyage with every run you log. This is the regatta, live in the app, every boat in the club on one sea.
All of it is free to run and log. Add a race plan the day you want one, not before.
Objections, answered
Good. A 20 minute jog scores the same as a 20 minute tempo. Slow tribes win.
Start with the free base plan. Your tribe still scores every time you log 20 minutes.
Vote them off and a live runner takes the seat. Or leave and rematch. Or invite two mates and start your own. A dead tribe is a choice.
No. No purchase, no paid tier required. Free members win outright.
You lose a point, not the month. And next month resets anyway.
Real runners
"Love the community feel and support."
"It's the complete profile you need to track your runs, be part of a community, and follow a plan to be your best."
"OMG, this cycle tracking is legit. Mind blown."
3 pairs of COROS heart rate monitors on the line. Bring your mates or get matched. Your own boat on the voyage. Free to join, no card, and a slow jog counts.
