Gamified Running App — Turn Every Run Into Territory
RunWars is a free gamified running app that turns real-world runs into a strategy game. Run through your city, capture hexagons on the map and compete for territory with other runners.
Play RunWarsMake running feel like a game
A running habit is easier to keep when every kilometre has a purpose. In RunWars, your GPS activity is more than a workout summary: it helps you claim places on a shared map. A familiar route can strengthen your position, while a new street can become the next part of your territory.
The game is built around geographic hexagons. Running inside a hexagon contributes to your control of it, so each activity creates a clear, visible result. There is no fictional map or manual check-in: the movement that powers the game is your real run.
Run, capture, defend and compete
RunWars combines personal progress with friendly competition. Build a team with friends, follow the map together and take part in battles and rankings. You can use it to add a reason for an easy run, a new route for a long run, or a little extra motivation on a normal training day.
It is designed for runners who want game mechanics without replacing their running routine. Your pace and distance still matter, but the map gives each session a new context: explore, return to a strong area or go after an open hexagon.
A running game for the real world
RunWars works with recorded activities and supported activity-provider connections, so eligible runs can power the same map-based mechanics. The goal is simple: make it more rewarding to get outside, move through your city and come back for the next run.
Download RunWars on iOS or Android to start building territory one run at a time.
