What you need to know
Yes. URX is a virtual running league: you keep your local routes and enter official races with a date window, a mechanic, and a verified result. It is not a replacement for a city start or parkrun — it is the competitive layer you can do on your own course.
No. Strava (and similar apps) log training. URX is a league you enter: the activity is published into a race so it can be verified and ranked. Keep the log; use URX when you want an official virtual race result.
why participate
An online race is a free format where you decide when and where to run.
Run where it suits you
Run anywhere: in the park, stadium, treadmill, or on the seafront on holiday.
Flexible start time
No common signal. Start when it's convenient - morning, night, lunch, even midweek.
Real results
Join the leaderboard, compare yourself to others - without pressure or judgment.
Physical reward
If you choose a slot with a medal, you'll receive a beautiful tangible trophy by mail.
Digital reward
Even in the free format, you get a digital award that records your result.
Community & support
You're not alone. Others run at the same time, upload tracks, share photos and support.
Motivation to run
A deadline and results work better than any 'I should go for a jog'.
Start from zero
No one cares how fast you run. The main thing is to finish. Even 1 km counts.
Safety & comfort
No crowds, no queues, no fear of 'not being fit enough'.
