Runwiv turns active sessions into live, interactive events without compromising runner security. Built on robust local safety checks, immediate co-admin safety overrides, and real-time audio alerts, we keep squads, clubs, and spectator groups aligned, safe, and protected.
Safety is collaborative. Filter the features below to explore how the Runwiv safety network adapts to keep you protected, whether you are running solo, coordinating a club event, or spectating from home.
Runner Centric
Individual runner protection
Your safety details are integrated directly into the runner cockpit. Manage your tracking status, secure your details, and receive real-time notifications when it matters.
Locker Room Emergency Directory
Edit emergency contact details, phone numbers, and specific biometrics in your runner profile editor—completely accessible to organizers if an incident is raised.
Live Hazard Notification & Shields
Receive watch haptics and loud spoken audio notifications when approaching likely road crossings, offline loops, or restricted circles. For Arcade modes, scoring automatically pauses and tag protection shields arm inside designated buffer zones.
Notice Acceptance Gating
Before entering squad lobbies or setup-driven runs, you are presented with a clear Participant Safety Notice sheet generated from the route analysis details to sign off before starting.

CROSSING DETECTED
Reduce speed & yield to traffic in 50m.

Club OS
Club member connection
Run together without fear of losing your squad. As a club runner, your safety features tie directly to the club dashboard and organizer console.
Real-Time Safety Broadcast Alerts
Receive immediate full-screen emergency overlays on your phone and Apple Watch. If an administrator broadcasts a safety warning, all media stops, and an alarm overlay triggers with explicit organizer directives.
Verified Route Maps
Run only verified tracks scanned by the Safety Analysis engine. Restricted circles (such as roadworks, high-traffic corners, or unsafe underpasses) are flagged clearly on your live navigation screen.
Dynamic Event Incident Reporting
File reports instantly via the app. If you spot a hazard, drop a pin on the course. You will be updated as soon as administrators close or resolve the report.
RUNWIV CLUB ALERT
AUDIO ALERT ACTIVE
"Incident at Mile 3. Club organizers advise route detour to Plan B path. Slow down."
Organiser Panel
Club administrator controls
Runwiv provides organizers with extensive liability controls and immediate hazard response tools. Manage events securely with real-time status feeds.
The Safety Broadcast Console
Broadcast audio overrides to all active runners instantly. Send emergency voice briefings or select pre-recorded alerts to keep everyone informed on the ground.
Safety Analysis Gating & Overrides
The safety engine automatically scans routes before event publishing. Critical issues (e.g. out-of-bounds checkpoints) block publication. Warnings can be overridden by hosts only with typed, logged justifications.
Emergency Participant Index
Instant access to active runner directory listings. View emergency contact phone numbers and biometric safety notes on the coordinator dashboard, synced to live runner profiles.
Safety Console
Spectator Web
Spectator reassurance
Track family members and friends without hovering. Provide visual updates and keep spectators updated on the safety status of all runners on the course.
Live Map-based Tracking
View real-time coordinates, paths, trails, and exact active states of runners on our dark themed Mapbox/OpenStreetMap visual layers. See speed drops or static periods instantly.
Course Progress & Remaining ETA
When runners follow pre-scanned routes, the tracking engine computes precise remaining distances and real-time ETAs to coordinates so you know exactly when they are expected at checkpoints.
Safety Status Overlay
If a club organizer broadcasts a warning or the runner triggers an incident report, the spectator view instantly highlights the status change with an explanatory overlay block.

The Safety Analysis Scanner
At the core of the Runwiv publisher is our automated route safety scanner. Before any route experience is shared, the app executes checks to identify hazards.
When a route is designed in Route Studio or imported via GPX/Strava, the system parses the route coordinates. It applies safety analysis to determine publish compatibility:
Likely Road Crossings
Checks geographic crossing nodes against open roads, generating warn cues to slow down runners prior to impact points.
Restricted Circles
Allows hosts to establish no-go polygons (restricted circles). Placing checkpoints inside these boundaries blocks game publishing.
GPS Signal Confidence
Analyzes track trees for canyon or forest cover. If GPS confidence is low, the app auto-adjusts watch local metrics to step tracking.
Game-Specific Warnings
Infection game setups require stricter street-crossing buffers than Turf War loops, adjusting for high-tempo runner profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about location access, data safety parameters, or emergency settings? We have detailed answers below.
Runwiv uses a custom, smart GPS tracking system that updates your location intelligently based on your speed. By analyzing distance checkpoints rather than continuous coordinates, background location usage is highly optimized, ensuring a full marathon can be tracked on Apple Watch and iPhone with substantial charge to spare.
Only primary event hosts and authorized co-admins listed in the club event's administrator settings can issue safety broadcasts. This keeps notifications secure and prevents unauthorized alert spam during active events.
If a runner enters a restricted hazard segment mapped in Route Studio, the live run engine triggers:
Immediate haptic triple-tap alert on the companion Apple Watch.
A complete pause on active event scoring (e.g. Turf War grid points stop accumulating).
Tag protection shields for multiplayer matches to discourage players from taking risks.
Your profile data is protected under robust Firestore Security Rules and is completely invisible to third parties. Event organizers can access contact numbers and safety tags during active runs only. The moment the run session ends, your contact details are locked securely again.
Prioritize Safety on your Next Run
Configure your route, publish events after satisfying the Safety Analysis engine, and rest assured that your emergency profile details and live locations are managed securely.
