Lo que hace Charge Running

Charge Running is a community for all runners. We host 20+ live virtual running classes and races per day, where runners join and run together from all over the world through a mobile app. Each class is hosted by a live, certified run coach, that tracks all participants' distances, paces, cadences, and interval summaries as they lead the runners via audio through effort-based run classes. Each runner can chat with the coach and other participants of the run, as well as see in real-time the distance of every other runner, no matter where they run from. This creates an incredibly motivational experience. In addition to our daily lineup of classes, Charge hosts virtual races, partnering with race directors and charities to offer a virtual racing experience, with an in-person feel.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a mobile app that offers 20+ live, coached running classes per day where runners from anywhere join in real-time. Coaches lead groups by audio, track distance, pace, cadence, and intervals, and runners see each other's stats and chat during runs. We also host virtual races that feel like real events by partnering with race directors and charities.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Chicago, IL, and work remotely. Post-YC, we would remain based in Chicago with a remote team setup.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Chicago was convenient for us as founders and offers a strong running community. Remote work lets us hire talent without relocating. It's important to stay connected to a real running city and maintain flexibility.
