The problem
RunLink is a platform built to fill the gap between messy group chats and overpriced enterprise tools for running clubs. Members register and pay through the app, club admins schedule events and track turnout, and retail brands run their own branded club programs on the same rails. Designed so a solo organizer and a multi-store retail chain use the same product, just with different surfaces.
What we built
- Club discovery and membership flow on iOS
- Event scheduling with recurring events, RSVP, and day-of check-in
- In-app route maps with auto-calculated distance
- Direct messaging between members
- Role-based experience, distinct runner and club-admin surfaces
- Marketing site plus an admin, club, and runner dashboard
- Open API for retail partners to bulk-sync their store locator

What’s next
Merge the role-based redesign, launch on the App Store, ship Android, and open a self-serve onboarding path for partner retailers.
