GainGround

A territory game for runners

Your streets. Defend them.

Every run claims the streets you pass through. Your friends run too, and whoever ran a place most recently owns it. Run more, and run where they run, to gain ground.

Free. iOS and Android. The app records your runs itself.

How it works

Go for a run. Take ground from your friends.

  1. 01

    Run to claim ground

    Every street you run through becomes yours.

  2. 02

    A loop claims what's inside

    Run a loop and the ground it encloses is yours too.

  3. 03

    The last runner owns the ground

    Whoever ran through a place most recently owns it. A friend runs your street after you? It's theirs, until you run it back.

  4. 04

    You compete in arenas

    Your friends are one arena. Every group you join is another: a club, a neighbourhood, a few colleagues. One run counts in all of them.

Stay in the game

Know when someone takes your street

A friend runs through your ground and you get a push, so you know where to run next. Your profile keeps the score: ground won, ground lost, your main rival and every takeover.

Territory lost

Sofia took 50 cells from you.

Private by default

Your friends see your turf, not your track

Runs reveal where you live, so only your friends and the groups you join see your territory. Nobody sees your raw GPS tracks, not even them. Strangers see nothing at all.

Lace up. The ground is waiting.

Free to play. Add your friends, start a run, and the map is yours by the time you are home.
