Run. Capture. Compete.
What is Loop?
Loop is a free mobile app that turns your everyday runs into a real-world territory capture game. Run a loop around any city block to claim it as your turf — then defend it against friends, rivals, and runners nearby.
Run Loops, Claim Turf
Every time you run a closed loop on real streets, that territory becomes yours. The bigger the loop, the more turf you capture. Watch the map light up in your color as you take over your neighborhood.
Compete With Friends
Challenge friends to see who can control the most territory. Steal turf by running through their claimed blocks. Climb the leaderboard and prove you own your city.
Explore Your City
Loop motivates you to run new routes and discover streets you've never been on. Break out of your usual running routine and explore every corner of your neighborhood.
How It Works
Open Loop and start your run. The app tracks your route using GPS.
Run a closed loop on any streets. When your path connects back to where it started, you capture that territory.
Defend and expand. Other runners can take your turf by running through it. Keep running to hold your ground and dominate the map.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Loop?
Loop is a free running app that gamifies your runs by turning them into a real-world territory capture game. Run closed loops on city streets to claim turf, compete with friends, and climb the leaderboard.
How does Loop work?
Open the app and start running. When you run a path that connects back to where it started — forming a loop — all the territory inside that loop becomes yours. Other runners can steal your turf by running through it, so you'll need to keep running to defend your territory.
Is Loop free?
Yes! Loop is completely free to download and play. We want every runner to be able to compete.
What devices does Loop support?
Loop will be available on both iOS and Android. Join the waitlist to get notified as soon as we launch on your platform.
What cities is Loop available in?
Loop works anywhere there are streets. Whether you're running in New York, London, Tokyo, or a small town — if there are roads, you can play Loop.
Do I need to be a fast runner to play?
Not at all. Loop is about strategy, not speed. A slower runner who picks smart routes and runs consistently can dominate the map. It's about territory, not pace.
When does Loop launch?
We're currently in development with a waitlist open. Join the waitlist to secure your spot and be among the first to play when we launch.
How is Loop different from Strava or Nike Run Club?
Strava and Nike Run Club are great for tracking runs, but Loop adds a competitive game layer on top. Instead of just logging miles, you're capturing real territory on a live map, competing head-to-head with other runners in your area. It turns every run into a game.
