Running app with friends
Runwiv turns a run into something your friends can join while it is happening. Start a squad run, share one link, race a route, or let supporters follow from any browser.

What is a live social running app?
A live social running app connects people during a run. Runwiv is being built around shared starts, squad maps and browser spectators, so friends can take part in the same session instead of waiting for an activity upload afterwards.
Plan your first run with friends
Choose a time, agree whether you are running together locally or starting from different places, and decide on an easy effort or a friendly race. Share the session invitation before the start. Each runner needs access to Runwiv; supporters use a separate browser link.
Give supporters a way to join in
A spectator link is useful for family watching a long run or a friend meeting the group near the finish. Open the spectator demo to see the viewing experience before launch. Share live links only with the people you want to follow the session.
Choose the right shared session
A local group run works best with an agreed meeting point and pace. Remote friends can share a start while running different routes. Distance, hills and GPS conditions can differ between runners, so decide what you are comparing before treating the session as a race.
Common questions
Can friends run in different places?
Runwiv is designed for local squads and remote shared sessions. Agree on a start time and effort; remote routes do not have to be identical. Public app access is not yet generally available.
Does everyone need the app?
Runners need Runwiv access to take part in a session. Supporters can open a shared spectator link in a browser without installing an app.
