Unlike some hobbies and sports, running and walking are more affordable and accessible alternatives. Our group want to design a running app that build a community of positivity and culture.

The competition
UCI Design-a-thon 2024
_The competition
Each year, Design at UCI hosts a hybrid collegiate design competition where they invite top industry experts from companies like Uber, the LEGO Group, and Indeed to judge design projects created in the span of 3 days. As the largest collegiate design competition in Orange County, they are bringing hundreds of designers nationwide to design, develop, and pitch a product built from scratch. All participants will be judged not only on visual design and aesthetics, but the ability to think and reason asymmetrically to build innovative solutions addressing high-impact problems.
_Our inspiration
Our mission to get users' heart beating faster through exercise and excitement as we unite physical health and technology together.
_Design
This app has beginner-friendly features for those just starting with their fitness journey and more vigorous features for seasoned runners. Explore cultures and identities by collecting seasonal badges that tell about their backgrounds. Connect with friends, loved ones, and new companions by finding them here on this app. Foster your thoughts and authenticity by sharing your personal narrative through the community page. Stay committed to your fitness journey by tracking your progress and persisting with what you have begun.
