Running Mate is a run-share platform built for safety, connection, and empowerment. The app connects runners with verified, background-checked “running mates” for runs in cities across the U.S. Whether you're running in a new city, training early in the morning, or simply prefer not to run alone, Running Mate gives you the freedom to lace up with confidence. Each Runner and Running Mate is background-checked, with many holding certifications in self-defense, first aid, or run coaching. Users can schedule a run, select a preferred pace and time, and meet a vetted partner for a safe and social experience. Our mission is to end violence, harassment, and assault against female runners by creating safer, more supported ways to move through the world—one mile at a time
