Hey ProductHunt Community 👋❤️
I'm Alex, a designer and co-founder of uRace. We're excited to introduce a mobile game for runners, cyclists, swimmers, and hikers. You’ve probably seen apps using gamification to add a bit of fun to your workouts, but what if someone turned your real-life activities into a true game? Think thrilled races (like game levels), global competition, additional game modes, and leaderboards where runners can compete with cyclists, or swimmers — all matched to your skill level.
Imagine Duolingo, but for most popular cyclic sports. Whether you're a beginner looking to build a habit or an athlete craving an extra dose of challenge, uRace has something for everyone. To complete a level(race), choose a sport and cover a specific distance within a set number of days. The game encourages different strategies — you can cover a long distance in one go or spread it out over several days.
In addition to races inspired by world landmarks, history and folklore, and eye-catching visuals, uRace offers a balanced system of rewards and challenges that keeps players coming back.
We've built uRace with:
- Free-to-play access;
- A built-in GPS tracker plus sync support with STRAVA (soon: Garmin and Wahoo);
- Virtual medals and finisher PDF diplomas;
- Global competitions with level-based leagues;
- Leaderboards
- Extra game modes and more.
What makes it unique?
Smart Opponent Selector: Compete in leagues from Wooden to Diamond, facing athletes matched to your level.
Unified Point System: Fair scoring lets runners, cyclists, and swimmers compete in the same leagues.
Anti-Cheat System: We’re all about fair play, detecting anything from driving instead of running to GPS manipulation.
Our goal? We aim to redefine game-based motivation in fitness training by focusing on engaging single-player experiences and fair multiplayer virtual competitions. Our goal is to create an environment where users can challenge themselves, enjoy friendly competition, and have a dose of fun along the way.
Thank you for your support, Product Hunt❤️
We’re just getting started, so we'd love your feedback! 🌟
