Stop running boredom before it starts. Random Run generates 3 fresh loops from anywhere, with turn-by-turn nav and Live Activities. Free. Apple Watch + Strava.
Dead simple. Pick your goal. Get three routes. Start running.
And brand new in this version: connect to Strava so every run counts.
Random Run generates loop running routes that start and end right where you are — on real roads, not straight lines on a map. No account. No planning. No data collection. Just run.
How it works
Pick your goal — 5 km, 30 minutes, whatever fits your day. Distance or duration, your call. One tap and you get three unique loop routes heading in different directions from your start point. Pick the one that catches your eye, or hit regenerate and keep exploring.
Run with turn-by-turn guidance
Follow the route with step-by-step navigation. Your next turn shows up on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island via Live Activity — distance to the turn, elapsed time, pace, all without unlocking your phone. Eyes up, feet moving.
Personalized for your pace
Connect HealthKit and duration mode calculates a route based on how fast you actually run. Totally optional — we never see or store your health data.
Take your route anywhere
Export any route as a GPX file to load into Garmin, Strava, or whatever else you use.
Run complete
Time, distance, pace — everything you want to see right after you finish.
Details
Free. No ads. No subscriptions.
Available in English, French, and German.
Works without location access — enter an address and use timer mode.
Random Run is for the runner who wants to explore, not optimize. Lace up, tap Generate, and find your new fave.

Welcome to RandomRun 2.0, our biggest update yet!
We rebuilt route generation from the ground up to make it the best random run generator ever.
NEW: Start Anywhere
Plan your run from any location, not just where you're standing. Drop a pin and we'll build the perfect loop back.
NEW: Run/Walk Intervals
Train smarter with built-in run/walk interval timing — great for beginners, recovery days, and structured workouts.
NEW: Live Activities
Track your distance, pace, and time right from your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. No need to unlock your phone mid-run.
SMARTER ROUTES: No More Backtracking
Our new routing engine guarantees loops that don't double back on themselves, so every run feels fresh from start to finish.
FASTER: Routes in a Flash
Route generation is dramatically faster, and re-running a favourite route now takes a single tap.
BETTER ON THE GO
Smarter rerouting keeps you on course if you take a wrong turn.
Still available in English, French, and German.
Thanks for running with us. We'd love a review if RandomRun is part of your routine!
