Run together live, even when you’re not in the same place
See your running crew’s distance live while you run, without sharing your location. How RunPack’s “Run together live” works and what it shares.
Friends in a running crew rarely run at the same time and place. Run together live is for the next best thing: knowing that Dana is out there too, two kilometres in, while you climb the same kind of hill across town.
How it works
- Before a run, open More options on the Run tab and switch on Run together live. It stays on for your next runs until you switch it off.
- While you run, your crew sees your name, distance and time, updated about every 30 seconds.
- You see crewmates running at the same time on the run screen and on your Lock Screen, and your phone buzzes when one starts or finishes.
What it never shares
Your location. RunPack sends distance and time, and there is nowhere on our server to put a location even if the app tried. Your route only appears in the crew feed afterwards, like any shared run, and only if your crew has route maps.
A live run ends when you finish, or by itself after four hours. Only people in a crew with you can see it, and anyone you’ve blocked can’t.
