No sport, no pace, no kilometres. Whether you walk, run, or roll — you draw a circle around your neighborhood, collect badges, and meet fellow loop-goers. A growing community rediscovering its city. Perks at local shops, cafés and bookstores along the way arrive as the first partners join in.
No points, no levels, no fitness tracker. Walk through the flow yourself — using the 5K Tiergarten loop around Berlin Marathon weekend as the example.
Ready? Hit "Next" and walk through each step.
Over Marathon weekend, the 5K Tiergarten loop shows up as a challenge in the app — perfect for anyone who isn't running but still wants in.
One tap on "Start" and the app validates your route in the background — your GPS trace never leaves the device.
Loop closed, challenge complete. No pace pressure — strolling counts just as much as jogging.
The Marathon Weekend Challenge drops a badge into your profile — visible proof you explored the neighborhood.
Once local partners along the way join, their reward lands straight in your Wallet. Walk in, show it, done.
Your walk stays yours. Loop validation runs entirely on your smartphone — individual GPS traces and movement profiles never leave your device.
Server-side, we store only four things per loop: your loop's shape with a randomized start point (never your actual starting location), elevation profile, activity duration, and challenge assignment. No inference back to you as a person, no linkage across multiple loops.
No data sales, no personal identifiers, no ad trackers, no cookies. When you redeem a reward, the partner only gets a yes/no proof — like scanning a coupon, never a route or an identity. The website runs only cookie-free, anonymous analytics (Plausible, EU) — no ad networks. All GDPR-compliant.
