App UPDATE #3 - THIS IS THE WEEK!
🚀 We’re Almost There: The First Version of United States of Running Is About to Launch
There’s something powerful about being close to the start of something big.
Right now, we’re just days away from launching the very first version of the United States of Running app — and that moment feels real.
What started as an idea has turned into something you’ll soon be able to hold in your hand, open on your phone, and begin using to track your journey across all 50 states.
🗺️ Why This App Exists
If you’ve ever thought about running a race in every state, you already know the problem:
There’s no clear system.
Everything is scattered:
Race tracking lives in spreadsheets (or memory)
Planning is manual and time-consuming
Progress is hard to visualize
And motivation can fade between races
This app was built to solve that.
The goal is simple:
Turn a long, complex journey into something clear, motivating, and worth celebrating every step of the way.
🧱 What You’ll See in the First Version
This first version is intentionally focused.
You’ll be able to:
Track your completed races across all 50 states
See your progress visually on the U.S. map
Start building your personal running journey
It’s not everything we’ve imagined — yet.
But it’s the foundation we’ll build on.
📱 Beta Launch Details
The first beta release will be available on iOS (Apple devices) only.
If you’re on Android, you’re still part of this.
The next phase of development will include a web experience, giving you access to your progress, your map, and your journey while we work toward a full Android version.
🏃 Why This Is Different
This isn’t just a race tracker.
It’s built around something bigger:
A long-term goal
A personal journey
A finish line that takes years to reach
Along the way, this app is designed to help you:
Stay consistent
Keep moving forward
See how far you’ve come
Because finishing all 50 states isn’t just about races.
It’s about the story you build along the way.
🧭 The Runners Who Start First
The first group of runners who use this app won’t just be users.
They’ll be part of shaping it.
Every piece of feedback, every idea, every experience will help guide what this becomes.
And over time, that will matter more than anything else we build.
⏳ What Comes Next
We’re almost there.
The beta is about to open.
And when it does, this stops being an idea — and starts becoming something real.
