Walking on your own toward a distant city is motivating. Racing friends toward the same city is more fun.
How friend races work
Invite friends to any challenge and their steps count from the moment they join — there's no catch-up mechanic and no penalty for joining a race that's already underway. Standings update live, showing exactly who's in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place based on real progress toward the shared finish line.

Free vs. PRO
Joining a friend's challenge is free. Creating and inviting friends to a race with live standings is a PRO feature:
Every race has a finish line — chosen once, up front
Whoever creates a race picks how far the finish line actually is: the honest real-world distance, or a compressed version built to be finishable within a normal challenge window. Same real steps either way — see Fun mode vs. Real mode for the exact math behind that choice, made once at creation and shared by everyone in the race.
If you'd rather start with a solo route first, see walking between real cities.
Go PRO in the app to invite friends and race live.
Free to play — pick two real cities and start walking today.
