Race day, simplified.

    Houston races are in the app, or paste any sign-up link, or create your own group race.

  2. 2

    Send one link

    Text it to friends and family. They open it on any phone. No app, no account.

  3. 3

    Start from your wrist

    Tap Start on your Apple Watch. Your phone stays in your pocket. Your crew is already watching.

Made for runners

Built for the way
you actually race.

Numbers you can read at mile 5

Rank, pace and time are huge and high contrast. Built for a sweaty one-second glance, not for scrolling.

Chase real runners

A kart-style track shows everyone racing with you. Ranked by distance from each runner's own start, so it is fair for every wave.

Cheers in your ears

Friends send air horns, cowbells, messages and 15-second voice notes. They play over your music.

Lock Screen and wrist

Live ranking on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Start, run and finish from your Apple Watch with the phone in your pocket.

Your crew, your race

Create a group race for your run club or office. Everyone starts when they start, and the rankings stay fair.

Private by design

Friends never see a map or your location. Links close when your race ends. Mute or block any fan.

Rank at a glance: Huge numbers you can read at mile 5. No map, just the race.

The track

Chase real runners.
Not a map.

Everyone racing with you appears on one winding track, with a live ranking that updates as you pass people. It is ranked by distance from each runner's own start, so it is fair whatever wave you ran in.

  • See who is just ahead, and the gap
  • Climb the rankings mile by mile
  • Pick your runner and your ride (flame, stardust, neon)

Cheers

Friends cheer.
You hear it.

Your crew taps an air horn, a cowbell or a stadium roar, types a message, or records a 15-second voice note. It plays in your earbuds, over your music, right when you need it. Mute any fan if you want.

Questions

Good to know.

Does it work at any race?

Yes. HypeLap tracks you with your own phone or Apple Watch, so it does not need the race organizer to sign up. Houston races are listed in the app, you can paste any sign-up link, or create your own group race for your run club.

Do my friends need the app?

No. They open your link on any phone, iPhone or Android, and watch and cheer in the browser. No download and no account. If they want their own live link for a race, they can get the app.

Will it drain my battery?

Tracking uses the same GPS as any running app, and the Apple Watch can run the whole race without your phone. We will publish real battery numbers after the first club races in Houston instead of guessing.

Can strangers see where I am?

No. Friends see your distance, rank and pace on a track, never a map or your location. A watch link closes when your race ends, and you can mute or block any fan.

What does it cost?

Watching and cheering is free, forever. Runners get a 7-day free trial, then HypeLap Pro. Launch pricing is $39.99 a year, $5.99 a month, or $2.99 for a single race, and may change before the app is released.

Is there an Android app?

Not yet. Friends on Android can watch and cheer from the web page today. A runner app for Android comes after iPhone and Apple Watch.

When can I get it?

HypeLap is launching in Houston first, with local running clubs. The iPhone and Apple Watch app is not on the App Store yet. Try the demo race below to see exactly what your friends will see.

Hype
every lap.

See what your friends will see. It takes ten seconds and needs nothing from you.
