A SIMPLE IDEA. A LOCAL CONNECTION.

Turn a good run
into a great discovery.

Runners explore. Your business gives them a destination. Here's how the experience comes together.

  1. 01

    Find your place.

    Start with your business address and category. See the published zone that your business calls home.

  2. 02

    Make it worth the stop.

    Choose your offer, quantity and terms. Eligible runners discover local rewards through gems on their runs.

  3. 03

    Welcome them in.

    The runner claims the reward, visits your business and scans your counter QR. They show your team the live confirmation.

A quick counter walkthrough

For your team, the everyday flow is simple:

  1. The runner opens their claimed reward in Runcover.
  2. When you are ready to hand over the offer, they scan your printed counter card.
  3. Check the live success screen for the correct reward and location.

The app records redemption. If something fails, follow the app's help instructions before trying again.

ONE VISIT CAN BE THE BEGINNING

A first hello.
Then, “the usual.”

Plan a welcome offer, then a reason to return. The merchant experience is being built around campaigns that move with each runner, with timing and limits that work for your business.

Campaign progression is planned. Benefits, timing and future availability are set by the merchant within category rules.

AN EXAMPLE, MADE YOUR OWN

  1. THE FIRST VISIT

    A warm welcome.

    A complimentary item or a generous introduction.

  2. ↻
    A WEEK LATER, FOR EXAMPLE

A SMALL START. ROOM TO GROW.

A local connection.

Your reward costs are separate from the Runcover subscription.

01

Know what counts.

Home-zone members plus visiting runners who completed a run through the zone in the last 30 days. Each person counts once per zone.

02

No surprise increases.

Prices are subject to change. We’ll give at least 30 days’ notice if we change this pricing table, and at least 7 days’ notice if audience growth moves you into a higher tier.

03

Changes happen at renewal.

Your notice includes the new price and charge date. Increases wait for a renewal after the full notice period. You can cancel before then. A lower audience tier lowers your next renewal price.

Each additional category has its own subscription. Eligible locations of the same business in the same zone and category are covered together. If an active zone’s audience returns to zero, monthly charges pause at renewal while the category is retained. Online partnerships have separately agreed monthly fees.

FOR NATIONAL & REGIONAL BRANDS

A bigger footprint.
The same spirit.

Bring an approved online reward to runners across an agreed region or the United States. Distinct online gems keep your partnership separate from the local businesses along each route.

Tell us about your business
What is a Runcover zone?

A zone is a defined local area shared by the Runcover map and Zone Wars. Your business address determines its zone. We use the published boundary instead of assigning a nearby area just because it has an opening.

Who counts toward my local audience?

The planned audience count includes people who selected the zone as home, plus visiting runners whose route entered it in the previous 30 days. Each person counts once within a zone. It is a local audience count—not a count of app downloads or a promise of visits.

What if my category or zone is not available?

A taken category can have an ordered waiting list. A business outside published zones can register interest in future coverage without a charge. A request does not reserve a category; availability must be confirmed before a subscription is offered.

What do I need to offer runners?

The planned starting commitment is at least one offer with five available redemptions per paid category each month. You choose a benefit that works for your business. Additional offers can have smaller quantities, and category guidelines will make the requirements clear before you subscribe.

Do my employees need another app?

For the normal counter experience, the runner uses Runcover to scan your printed QR card and shows the live redemption confirmation to your employee. Staff do not need to log in for that flow. Merchant-provided backup codes are part of the planned setup.

Does a national partner take my local category?

The local program is designed for one local business per category in a zone. National and regional online sponsorships are a separate program, shown as distinct online gems, and may appear alongside a local business in the same category.

Can I subscribe on this page today?

We are taking early-access requests. You can explore coverage and tell us about your business without payment. We will confirm availability, your price and the subscription terms before you can subscribe.
