Startup of the Week - Running Heroes

by Startacus Admin
The winter days may be upon us but as you’ll know if you’ve caught the running bug, that means very little! Runners are still out there, pounding the streets and putting all the couch potatoes to shame. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or thinking about starting, our latest Startup of the Week ought to be right up your street.
Running Heroes is an online platform which is on a mission to encourage and reward runners in an entirely new way!
Here’s how it works:
Firstly create a Running Heroes account and link your preferred running app or GPS watch
to it.
Then, simply keep on running as you always do with your running app of choice. Every session or run you do will earn you activity points on your Running Heroes account.
These points can then be used to redeem a whole host of special offers, promos and discounts from the Running Heroes partners. You’ll be able to nab everything from promotional rates for gym membership through to money off your fave sports clothing brands.
Pretty good - wouldn’t you agree?
After all, by joining Running Heroes you’ll still be getting all the health benefits from running that you always do but you’ll also be getting lots of extra perks and benefits on top!
What’s not to love about that…
