Built for trust
Verification, reviews, safety tools
Running alone gets old
Strava and Garmin track miles — they don't help you meet people. Meetup groups are slow. Generic social apps aren't built for runs.
- ✓ Travel, move cities, or just want pace-matched company
- ✓ No good way to find a running partner at your speed
- ✓ Group runs exist — but discovery is fragmented
The Trota way
Tinder-style runner discovery + Airbnb-style open runs on a map
Match by location, pace, distance, and run type. Chat, schedule, and show up together — with verification, safety tools, and city-tour runs for travelers.
The social layer for runners — not another fitness tracker.
How it works
From sign-up to your first shared run in six steps.
- 1
Sign up & onboard
Add your photo, pace, distance, run types, and availability. Quick safety tips on first launch.
- 2
Discover
Swipe nearby runners or browse open runs on the map. Filter by pace, run type, city tour, and more.
- 3
Match & chat
Mutual likes unlock realtime messaging. Plan your first run without leaving the app.
- 4
Plan a run
Propose a time, place, and pace — or request to join a hosted pin on the map.
- 5
Show up & confirm
Optional GPS check-in near the meeting point. Both confirm when you ran together.
- 6
Recap & repeat
Confirm you ran, rate your partner, and get a story card worth posting. Streaks grow with every completed run.
After the run
Strava posts a map. Trota posts a crew.
The flex isn’t another orange polyline. It’s that you found someone and showed up. When both of you confirm the run, Trota builds a story card about the pair — names, the shape of the route, one line you’d actually post.
- ✓ Route as a signature — no streets, no start pin, no “that’s my apartment.”
- ✓ First run, regulars, city tour — the caption writes itself.
- ✓ 1080×1920, ready for Stories. Playbill style if you’d rather skip faces.
Demo cards — the app fills this from the confirmed run.
Map pins, clubs & routes
More than swiping — Trota is built for group runs, clubs, and exploring new cities.
🏃
Running clubs
Register your club, drop event pins, and share a public profile with upcoming runs.
🗺️
Routes
Trota Plus builds real street paths (OSM-backed), then saves them to your route library for the next proposal.
📸
Story recaps
After you confirm a run, Trota builds a shareable card about the pair — names, a route signature, a line you’d actually post.
✈️
Travel discovery
Trota Plus: save multiple cities and dates before you land. Find a local runner or city-tour guide.
Trust & safety first
Meet in public, verify who you run with, and build reputation over time.

One-liners
“Tinder for running partners.”
“Match with runners at your pace — or join an open run on the map.”
“The social app for people who'd rather run together than run alone.”
“The recap you’d actually post — two names, not another GPS dump.”
