ODDS Running

For run club leaders · Free

Run the club. Let the card take attendance.

The check-in card

A card that proves they were there.

Size
86 × 54 × 3 mm. Credit-card size, rounded and chamfered.
Chip
NTAG215, sealed inside. Dropped in mid-print. Nothing to peel or snag.
Proof
A secret link plus the chip's factory serial. A copied link or a screenshot doesn't check anyone in.
Window
30 min before start to 3 h after, by default, and the runner must have RSVP'd.
Phones
iPhone, no pairing. Hold the top of the phone to the rings.
Lost it
Switch it off from the app. We'll send a new one.

Host tools

Everything your co-leads need, on their phone.

Three iPhone screens: the Hosting home with the next run and turnout chart, the run roster with first-timers flagged, and check-in mode at 7 of 10

Know who's new before they arrive

The roster flags first-timers with a dot and a nudge to say hi. Regulars show how many runs they've done with you.

Check-in mode for the start line

A big counter and one tap per runner, for the nights someone forgets their phone.

Everyone who has run with the club, one runner's history with the club, and the announce sheet targeting lapsed runners

Your people, sorted for you

Regulars, newcomers, lapsed and followers, worked out from check-ins. No spreadsheet.

Announce to the right runners

Send “It's been a minute” to the three who went quiet, not to all 128 followers.

The web dashboard for organizers: next run, show-up rate, regulars, newcomers, followers and an eight-week turnout chart

The numbers your sponsor asks for

Show-up rate, regulars and first-timers, week by week, counted from check-ins rather than RSVPs. On the web and in the app.

Screens show sample data.

What your runners see

New runners find you. Nervous ones show up.

Every run page shows your pace range, your pace groups, and whether walkers are welcome, so “can I keep up?” is answered before they come.

Questions leaders ask

Do my runners need the app?

To RSVP and check in, yes. It's free on iPhone. Anyone can see your schedule on your club page at oddsrunning.com without an account.

Do we have to leave Instagram or Strava?

No. Keep posting where your runners already are. ODDS handles what those apps don't: RSVPs, check-in, and knowing who came.

Can someone check in from their couch?

Not with the card. Check-in needs the card's secret link and its chip serial, inside the run's time window, from a runner who RSVP'd.

What if we lose the card?

Switch it off in the app and we'll send another. Location or host check-in covers you in the meantime.

We're not in Miami. Can we join?

Yes. Set up your club and it goes on the calendar for runners near you. Cards ship to founding clubs first.
