The Abbott World Marathon Majors (AbbottWMM) Global Run Club has launched its first ever mobile app… ‘bringing the virtual training and racing hub into the palm of thousands of runners’ hands around the world.’
The Global Run Club launched in 2020 to keep runners moving during the racing hiatus brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. It has since become a monthly motivator with challenges and races to support the goals of all levels of runners.
The app is billed as a quick and easy way to register for a challenge or race, track monthly mileage and compare race times against friends and clubmates. Users can also now chat with fellow runners to arrange training runs and offer support.
Training tips, nutrition advice and inspiring stories can be found in the articles section and the new points allocation for miles run will lead to prize draws and competitions in the new year.
The next major race in the club is the virtual Autumn Global Marathon which is open from Sunday 25 September to Sunday 6 November, allowing runners to double-up their efforts at an Abbott World Marathon Major or another in-person race during that period.
The Global Run Club App is available to download on Android and iOS.
