Friend-a-thon
Friends cheer you on each mile
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Friend-a-Thon lets your friends and family record personalized voice cheers that play automatically at each mile marker during your race.
Here's how it works:
1. Create a race — 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, or custom distance
2. Send invites through iMessage — friends tap the bubble and record a cheer right in the chat
3. Run your race — cheers play automatically as you hit each mile
Features:
• iMessage integration — friends record without downloading the app
• Assign cheers to specific miles or let them shuffle randomly
• Find real races through RunSignup or create your own
• GPS and Apple Health tracking for automatic mile detection
• Works with AirPods and any Bluetooth headphones
• Face ID lock to keep your app private
Whether it's your first 5K or your 10th marathon, hearing a familiar voice at mile 20 hits different. Friend-a-Thon turns your people into your personal cheering squad.
