Go for a run with voice navigation along the way, explore like a local when you travel, find a runner-friendly hotel, or take on an audio-guided race. RunGo is the app that gives directions. We call it "navigation beyond maps." Looking to find or create and follow a running route? Hands down, the easiest way to stay on track and enjoy your run is customized, turn-by-turn voice navigation. RunGo is the most popular running app featuring turn-by-turn voice navigation, with over a million routes worldwide across 171 countries, including thousands of verified routes, like race courses, hotel tours, audio-guided mindful walks, city tours, unique adventures, and virtual races. Stay engaged with voice messages about landmarks you pass, local stories, or an encouraging reminder that you're halfway there. Turn any route in an engaging, voice-guided tour! You're probably beyond trying to memorize every turn, printing out maps, checking your phone’s map every block, or never doing anything new! RunGo also tracks your run stats like time, pace, distance, elevation, and estimated finish time. We proudly include no ads in the app, and a paid premium upgrade is available for additional features. Featured by Apple to "Run New Routes Wherever You Are,” “Walk to Get Fit,” “Run Your First 5K,” and "Unleash the Power of Apple Watch." WHAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU SAY “Only running app with turn-by-turn directions… 30+ turns on new roads that I wasn’t about to memorize.” -iPhone user review “RunGo was a great way to get a feel of the areas and feel more secure running by myself.” -Jess WHEN YOU TRAVEL Running is the best way to explore a city when you travel! With routes around the world, curated by passionate locals showing off the best of their city and by RunGo’s hotel partners, you can enjoy your run at your own pace with voice navigation to keep you on track. Find your next runner-friendly hotel to visit. WHY VOICE NAVIGATION? Voice navigation allows you to follow complex routes effortlessly. Explore routes with clear voice directions as you approach each turn, and get notified when you go off route. RunGo is Accessible and supports VoiceOver for visually impaired users. BUILD YOUR OWN ROUTES Map out custom routes right on your iPhone, or import a GPX file to RunGo. Create basic routes on your phone, while the full customization is on our web route creator. Any routes you create on the web route creator will also appear on your iPhone. LIVE TRACKING RunGo Live lets friends and family track your runs and races in real time on any web browser. APPLE WATCH With RunGo’s Apple Watch app, get turn-by-turn directions and haptic notifications on your wrist, and run complex routes without needing your iPhone.

Perfect for Creating Routeso

Found this app doing a search for what I needed. I wanted to create a route, share it with people and also create a GPX file for other smartwatches. There’s not all in one app like this for this cheap or free. Also I didn’t need all the bells and whistles like Strava or Map My Run. It actually has more than I expected for a free app. It also shows all kinds of data on the Apple Watch and iPhone. And it calls out data like pace, miles where to turn etc in your Bluetooth headphones, watch and phone. I just tested this morning for the first time and worked great. Now for GPX files and to save serval routes you have to pay, but a third of the price for Strava. I don’t even think you can map routes in Map my Run. If you just want a couple routes this is a great free app. And I wanted a live tracking feature to let someone know just in case something happens. This has it too in the paid version for way less than the others. All I can say so far is this is a great app. Not sure why all the 1 and 2 star reviews. I’ll probably pay the yearly just to give them money to keep this app going.

Great App, Needs Some Improvements

I’ve been using RunGo for three years now and am a paid subscriber. Overall, this is a great app. It’s easy to create and save routes, audio cues work well and it syncs with Apple Health and Strava. I do wish they would make some improvements. When you create a route, at each point you add it often adds unnecessary turns. For example, if I add a point on a straightaway, it will sometimes say, “turn left, now turn right” or “turn around, turn around”. Trying to edit these points often messes up the entire route. For detailed editing and certain features, you need to use a computer. Also, Facebook login no longer works correctly and it took over a week for support to migrate my login. Lastly, if you go off route (which is easy to do when trail running) it won’t let you know for over a 10th of a mile, so it ends up adding about a quarter mile to the run if you have to backtrack. All this said, this has become a vital running app for me and it has many powerful features that don’t seem to exist in any other running app. It filled the gaps that Strava’s routes lack, and if you already have routes in Strava you can import and manipulate them in RunGo. For what it can do, it definitely deserves 4 stars.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. These are all valid comments, and we are and have been working on all of them! Please stay tuned for major updates to the iPhone route creator. We are constantly working to improve the extra turn points. Ultimately, to customize the route to its fullest, you may want to use your computer, but it's not always available! We were bummed about the changes to the Facebook login; thanks for your patience as we had to manually jump through some hoops to make some individual migrations. We welcome your feedback, and your support means a lot to us as we work on these things!

Overall app has been great, but…

Recently my turn by turn directions stop after the 5th or 6th turn, leaving me a little lost on various routes I do through different run groups. Another runner shared a similar experience with me this morning. My setting are set to give me a summary every 5 miles, and that still works. I can also still see my self on the map (I’m using an Apple Watch). But the upcoming turn info gets frozen after the 5th or 6th turn and fails to give me any more info after that. I hope this is a known bug that has a fix soon 🤞

Close, just needs some tweaking

I travel a lot for work, 14 days out of the month I’m in a different city and different hotel. I love the fact that I can look up or create a route the night before and then go run it the next day. The turn-by-turn directions are great and exactly why I use RunGo. The one thing I’d like to see tweaked is Off Route. For example, I was running on Frank Sinatra Dr in Rancho Mirage, the road is two lanes in both directions with a center island with a sidewalk on only one side. RunGo kept telling me I was Off Route because (I assume) I was on the wrong side of the road compared to what I had created. The other Off Route issue is a lack recalculating of the route, or at least an option to. For example, same run as above, I had unwittingly created a route that went through a private gated community. No big deal, I’ll just go around and come back the same way I came, pick it up on the other side. Voice prompts were reminding me every 30 seconds that I was off route. Annoying to the point I had to quit the app. Hopefully they can get this fixed, every GPS in the world automatically recalculates when you’re off route.
