You're running the whole club yourself.

You plan the routes, post the recaps, bring the water, and show up every single time. Meanwhile, most members just… show up. There's no way to track who's actually building this thing with you.

Stride & Rise changes that. Members earn points for every contribution — checking in, bringing a friend, taking photos, volunteering. Points convert to a real ownership percentage in the club.

Built by a run club in Austin. Now accepting founding clubs.

The problem

Every run club hits the same wall

The same 3 people do everything

A few members carry the club while everyone else benefits. There’s no system to spread the work — or even see who’s contributing.

Founders burn out

You started this because you love running. Now you’re an unpaid event planner, photographer, and social media manager.

Contributors go unrecognized

Someone brings 10 friends over 6 months and gets the same credit as someone who showed up once. There’s no way to say: you helped build this.

How it works

1.

Create your club

Pick a name, add your city. Your club gets its own page at strideandrise.com/c/your-club. Takes 2 minutes.

2.

Members earn points

Check in to events, log contributions like taking photos or bringing friends. Every action earns points.

3.

Points become ownership

Points convert to a real ownership percentage in the club. Your most active members see their share grow on a live leaderboard — proof of who built this.
