Run the city. Capture the grid.
RNERS is a neon-soaked, GPS-powered running game where every step captures hex tiles on a live global map. Run in the real world, claim territory, and race the leaderboard from your iPhone and Apple Watch.
Every step paints the map
RNERS turns your everyday runs into a territory-capture game. Press start, follow your route, and watch the grid light up in neon hexes as you claim tiles across your city.
Press Start on your iPhone or Apple Watch, and RNERS begins tracking your run with GPS and HealthKit in real time.
Every few metres, your path snaps to an H3 hex tile. Pass through a tile and you capture it for your neon territory.
Your tiles glow neon blue. Other runners light up in pink. Unclaimed tiles shimmer purple on a living territory map.
Every run updates tiles captured and total distance, pushing you up the global RNERS leaderboard.
A living neon territory map
RNERS lays a hex grid over the real world. Your city becomes a mosaic of H3 tiles. Every run conditions the map as you claim, contest, and defend territory.
- Your territory – neon blue tiles you've captured.
- Other runners – glowing pink rival tiles.
- Unclaimed – soft purple tiles waiting to be taken.
The map centers on your GPS location when a fix is ready. Pan around, refresh the grid, and watch as your tiles expand across neighbourhoods, parks, and favourite routes.
Race the leaderboard
RNERS isn't just about distance – it's about control. Climb the ranks by capturing more tiles, contesting rival territory, and stacking neon across your routes.
The leaderboard aggregates tiles captured, contested tiles, and total kilometres run. Your best sessions become streaks that push you into the top tier of runners in your city and beyond.
