About this app

Go for a run with voice navigation guiding you along the way, or take on a race. RunGo is the running app that gives directions.

Looking to find or create and follow a running route? Hands down, the easiest way to stay on track and enjoy your run is through customized, turn-by-turn voice navigation.

Important updates:
* New onboarding messages, to make sure location, battery, and speech settings are on properly
* This will allow RunGo to work when the screen is off: run tracking and voice messages
* Please make sure "Location permission" for RunGo is set to "Allow all the time" or "Allow only while using the app"
* Please make sure "Battery usage" for the RunGo app does not have background restrictions
* Please make sure "Text-to-Speech" is set to "Google Engine"

Please contact support@rungoapp.com if RunGo isn't working as expected.

RunGo is the most popular running app featuring turn-by-turn voice navigation.

Build your own route, or select one of over 1 million routes or verified routes worldwide, and follow a voice-guided tour, including every time there's a turn or a cool landmark, or an encouraging reminder that you're halfway there.

It's 2025: you're probably beyond trying to memorize every turn, printing out maps, checking your phone’s map every block, or never doing anything new!

You’ll find amazing runs in running cities such as San Francisco, LA, Boston, New York, Chicago, Austin, Vancouver, London, Sydney, Tokyo, and many more. RunGo also tracks your run stats like time, pace, distance, elevation, and estimated finish time. We proudly include no ads in the app, and a paid premium upgrade is available for additional features.

RunGo was recently recognized as one of the best travel apps for your next trip and exploring the world, and how to find great running routes everywhere you travel.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
"Great app. I have no sense of direction so being able to create a route and import it into RunGo is perfect for me. It's given me the confidence to run a bit further from home and in other towns when I'm travelling for work. I did have a problem with the app "crashing" after 5 or 6 minutes exactly but this turned out to be a "feature" of my phone, Honor 10 (made by Huawei). There's a battery saving feature that shuts down apps when the user doesn't use them, but they still look open. I applied the fix and RunGo has performed flawlessly since." -App Review by Louise Coleman

The concept is good but the execution is poor. Syncing between mobile and laptop seems an impossibility which is irksome in 2023... This has been complained about frequently. I'm using the app for an event, which I've paid for, but can't download GPX routes without premium which seems like everyone wants to take their share from the customer. I'd watch an ad to download a route, or a very small fee, which would create revenue for those 1 off events.

Hi, just wanted to check and see if you were able to resolve your issues with the recent app updates? Also, many races use our technology, and we or they can unlock race GPX files, so you don't need to be Premium to download them. They just have to activate this or contact us. Please feel free to reach us anytime at support@rungoapp.com.

Have used for a few virtual events. The app works ok. The directions are ok, as long as they are programmed well, but what let's it down having to get your phone out and unlocked to start and stop. It could really do with a audible count down start, and an auto stop feature at the end of a race. Minimum you need to be able to stop the clock from the lock screen. Also, if you go off course, it takes far too long to warn you. Looking forward to real events starting up again soon.

I paid for a six pack where you get 6 routes to complete in to receive a medal as I was bored of running same routes. Did the first one today. I was doing a 6k and I had run 4k when I went off route and it didn't tell me straight away. So I used map to try and navigate back. I rejoined the route and completed route to find out it had lost the first 4k that I'd completed and said I'd only run 2k when I got to end but showed I'd done that in 44 minutes! What a waste of money! Don't bother using.

Hi, sorry to hear about your issues. We understand what they were, and the most recent app release fixes these bugs. We hope you're able to give it a try, and please let us know if anything is not 100% for you. Thanks for your patience; we had to get this right.

What’s new

Getting started with RunGo is now easier! Location access now works with either "While using the app" or "Allow all the time." Choose either option and enjoy tracking and audio-guided navigation throughout your run, even when your screen is off. Less setup, more running.
