Your India Running App Just Got a Major Upgrade

Hey there,

Running has grown in India leaps and bounds and it is because of YOU. You ran, you influenced others to run with you, you told your PB stories obsessively (and at times annoyingly) to everyone around you in hope that they would appreciate your hard work as much as it deserves. And it all paid off - almost every one runs now and the ones who don't, are envious of us. 

If you are reading this email, it means you have been to India Running app or the website to find a running event and register for it. BUT running is so much more than just this, isn't it? And so, a bunch of us from tech and product teams sat down to understand what more is needed. Based on the inputs, we decided to build a lot more than registrations for running.

In line with that, we are presenting a cool new app of India Running with newer features. And this is not all, we have planned features to be released every few weeks for the next several months to make sure we keep up with your speed of running.

Here is a list of what we have built. Check these out, report any bugs and if there is anything more running in your mind, let us know and we will build that feature in the app.  Here is a link to suggest new features. Better yet, if you would rather join us and build together,  Apply here :)

Key New Features Of The India Running App

1. You can now transfer or cancel any race entry: first ever in India?

Plans change. Injuries happen. Work comes up. Travel plans shift. Sometimes, reaching the start line is just not possible.

Runners now have an option to transfer or cancel their entries. That means more control after you register.

Because a race entry should not feel like a dead end when life gets in the way.

2. Your Race Calendar

You can now create your own race calendar and track your own performance against each of the races. We will further enhance this feature to provide you personalized coaching and nutrition, checklist, taper, race day planning etc based on the race calendar. 

After all, nothing should come in between you and your race.

So once you register, the race does not disappear into your inbox. It stays with you.

3. Find A Run Club Near You

Run clubs are the coolest thing to happen to a runner since the inception of the marathon word itself. And so, we have built a whole new section where you can find a club event, attend and see which of your other friends are going. 

If you are too excited, you can create a run club of your own as well. Make your own space, host your events, monetize as you seem fit and control all aspects of your club within the app.

4. Find races that actually fit you

Finding a race should not feel like homework.

With the new update, India Running can help you discover races based on your city, location, interests and past runs.

So instead of seeing the same events as everyone else, you get closer to races that actually make sense for you.

A local 10K.A half marathon in your city.A race that matches your next goal.

Because not every runner is looking for the same start line.

5. Buy what you need while registering

Race planning is not always just about the bib.

Sometimes there is merchandise. Sometimes there are extras. Sometimes there are small things you would rather sort while signing up instead of chasing later.

With race add-ons, runners can explore available extras during registration itself.

More of your race-day planning, handled in one place.

6. Sign up and let your friends know

A lot of race plans begin very casually.

One person signs up.Someone else sees it.The group chat wakes up.And suddenly, everyone is checking dates.

Now, when you register for a race, people in your running circle can get to know that you registered. If you are part of a run club, your club members can discover it too.

That makes race planning feel more natural.

Because sometimes, the best race day memories start with one runner clicking the register first.

 And this is only the beginning. Download the India Running app, explore the new features, and let us know what you would like to see next.
