ProRace
Record every run, walk and ride, on your phone or smartwatch.
ProRace is a workout tracker in the spirit of Strava. It records your route with GPS, shows your pace kilometre by kilometre, and keeps your training history. It works fully offline, and a free account is optional.
New · Virtual race services
Organising a virtual race? We run the technology.
Registration, result collection and the final leaderboard, for races where athletes run anywhere.
- Athletes race with Strava (profile link) or the ProRace app
- Only activities between the start and end dates count
- Checked results and a leaderboard after the end date
What it is
A simple, honest training log
Press Record, go, press Finish. ProRace takes care of the numbers (distance, pace, splits, elevation) and keeps a clean history of everything you've done.
Casual walkers
Log daily walks with no effort and see weekly totals. The phone is all you need.
Runners in training
Live pace, per-km splits and a record of every session. Watch support is planned for phone-free runs.
Cyclists
Speed and distance for every ride, with GPS recording that keeps going while the screen is locked.
The experience
Six screens, no friction
The whole core loop fits on one line. There's no sign-up wall: people open the app and start recording.
Open
A runner logo and a quick branded splash.
Home feed
Your activities with distance, time and pace, and one big Record button.
Choose & start
Run, Walk or Ride. A GPS signal indicator shows when you're ready.
Record
Time, distance, current and average pace, live split pace and finished splits.
Finish
"End activity?" asks you to Save, Discard or Keep going, so a run is never ended by accident.
Review
Route map, summary stats and a per-km splits table with the fastest split highlighted.

Why ProRace
Built on four promises
Works with no signal
Everything is recorded and stored on the device first. Trails, basements and flight mode are all fine. The network is never needed to record.
No account required
Open the app and go. An account is an optional extra that adds backup and syncs your history between phones.
The same numbers everywhere
iPhone and Android share one set of rules for distance, pace and splits, checked against the same test route. A run reads identically on every device.
Truly native
Each app is built with its platform's own tools, so GPS, background recording, battery use and (soon) watch sensors work the way the platform intends.
The product family
One product, five parts
ProRace is one experience delivered by five pieces that share a single data format. Any device can record, and every activity ends up in the same history.
ProRace for iPhone
Records, reviews and manages your history. Optional account with backup and sync.
ProRace for Android
The same experience on Android, with the same numbers. Optional account with backup and sync.
ProRace Cloud
Accounts, email verification, profiles, and activity backup and sync. Running and tested locally; deployment to its server is next.
ProRace for Apple Watch
Record with the watch's own GPS and heart rate, no phone needed, then sync to the iPhone.
ProRace for Wear OS
The same standalone recording for Wear OS watches, syncing to the Android phone.
How it fits together
Accounts & sync
Your history, safe and on every phone
For people who want it, a ProRace account keeps their activities backed up and in sync. It lives in Profile under "Account & backup", out of the way of everyone else.
Sign up with email
Email and password, confirmed with a 6-digit code sent by email. There are no links to open, so it works on any device.
Your past runs come along
On first sign-in, everything already recorded on the phone is uploaded, so nothing recorded before signing up is lost.
Automatic sync
New runs, edits and deletions sync in the background, retrying until the connection is there.
You stay in control
Log out and your activities stay on the phone. Change your password, reset it by code, or delete your account and all its data from inside the app.

Privacy
Location data treated as sensitive
On the device by default
Without an account, routes never leave the phone.
Only for the app's function
With an account, data is used only to back up and sync the user's own history. There's no advertising and no tracking.
Deletion means deletion
Deleting an account removes the profile, activities and routes from the server right away.
Private until social arrives
Activities aren't visible to anyone else. Sharing controls come with the social features.
