Run This Runner — the game

A 16-bit endless-runner hiding in your dashboard. Jump the obstacles, rack up miles, and chase your friends up the leaderboard. It has no effect on anything real — it's just for fun.

How to open it

On your athlete dashboard, tap the game-controller button in the top bar, or the Run This Runner card on the dashboard itself. The game opens right over whatever you were doing.

How it works

One control: jump. Your runner speeds up the longer you last, and your score is the distance you cover, in miles. Cross real race distances mid-run — a mile, a 5K, a 10K, a half, even a full marathon — and the game celebrates each milestone.

  • Three worlds, each with its own obstacle: Track (clear the hurdles), Road (leap the aid stations), and Trail (bound over the rocks).
  • Pick your runner — a handful of characters with different looks; choose whoever feels fast.
  • Your lifetime miles add up across every run and show on the dashboard card.

Leaderboards

Each world keeps its own best-score board — Track, Road, and Trail — plus a combined Overall board. Only your personal best counts, so a bad run never hurts your standing. You can view each board a few ways:

  • Global — everyone on Run This, with your own true rank shown even if you're outside the top.
  • Following — just the people you follow (and you).
  • Club — members of your club.

Private accounts appear as “Private runner” on the global board — they keep their rank, but their name and profile stay hidden.

Zero stakes

Runner scores don't touch your race history, trophies, or anything a race director sees. Bragging rights only.
