Who knew I’d need something like this. Ran the 2026 LA Marathon and it was a tough hot race. The messages I got from friends and loved ones really made a difference because the race was rough, but the words of encouragement came right on time! It was a little buggy at first and kept making me restart at different miles, so I missed some messages, but then it stayed working after that. I do like you can pay to download all the messages later. I at first felt like $9.99 felt a lot, but for all those voice messages being timed and staying open during the race, it made me still laugh and smile now that I have access to listen and download. I wish I could play the ones I missed from the app mid-race, so some features could be added. I did feel like it drained my battery faster, so maybe some optimizations on the back end? But, I truly truly felt this was an amazing app and loved it! Will do it again!

I used Rally to put together a surprise for my friend who was running the Philly Marathon and the whole thing was so seamless. The idea itself is so thoughtful. Having voice messages play during a race is such a meaningful boost and as someone who has done a few half marathons I know how much those little moments of support matter. They are truly almost as impactful and important as all the training that goes into it.The app was super easy to use and the team behind it was incredibly responsive. They helped me transfer everything to my friend’s account before race day and made the whole process feel simple. You can tell they really care about the experience.This is such a creative idea and so well done. I’m excited to see it grow because it is truly something special. Highly recommend!

I first heard of Rally when I was scrolling on Tik Tok. As someone who loves to run half marathons I thought the concept of this app was so cool! I have always had family and friends text me words of encouragement during each of my races. However, I LOVED sending Rally to all of my loved ones so that I could hear their words of encouragement as I hit each mile marker of my race. Hearing my peoples kind and encouraging words at each mile helped push me to keep going went I felt like giving up. I could not recommend an app more. Seriously the coolest idea ever! You are able to listen to your voice recordings even after the race is over and I recorded them on my voice memos after so that I will have those words of encouragement with me forever!

This app got me through the Chicago Marathon! Loved hearing the cheers from friends and family over the miles. I started it a little bit before I got to the start line, but it was able to determine pretty closely where I was to each mile marker. It did not seem to have any effect on my battery as I still had plenty of battery at the end of the race (and I’m very slow!)I love that you can listen to your voice notes again after the race. since the music was so loud in some places on this course that I missed a few.I contacted support with a question and they were almost immediately answering. These guys are top-notch! Use this app for your next race. You won’t regret it! I can’t wait to run my next race with this app!
