Carrot is a new 5km running game taking the world by storm....

Compete against yourself & your friends using the unique carrot target time. Now, any ability, anyone, anywhere.... can win!

With Carrot you can connect across any app, event, treadmill, solo or experience. We are not a GPS device; we are not a run-keeper; or a tracker... We are a game!

We are uniquely different from Strava, RunKeeper, parkrun, Nike+ and all the other cool apps. We love them - we use them personally - but we wanted a way to connect all of them... So we did!

At the moment, we are exclusively for 5km running distance only.

We are different from all other apps due to 2 major reasons:

1. Your Carrot...

* The carrot is our unique time target method.

* Each week your aim is to beat your 5km target time - the more you beat it, the more likely you are to win and unlock more points.

* Your Carrot changes each game week, responding to your past performances

2. Your leagues...

* Compete against yourself, or with friends, colleagues or family in private mini-leagues.

* Leagues are like groups; they are YOUR private community.

* You can only join leagues you know; or are invited to.

* We don't do or have public leagues - and you only see the times of the people you follow.

Why? This creates a more meaningful, personal and motivational experience, to keep you inspired and connected.

A bit more info...

* Game Week opens every Sunday and closes Saturday, 18:00!

* You can upload a run (simple 3-click manual process) as many times as you like during the week.... so long as it's quicker!

We only take your best 5k time of the week.

* Your result is your ACTUAL TIME - your CARROT TARGET

* This is how we have created a unique level playing field. (now, you could race against Mo Farah... and win!)

* Carrot Points are a little bit more motivation. From annual best times to run streaks - we have created an extra layer of gaming, which the solo runners love!

* Exclusive unlocks - Only Carrot members can wear the classy, ultra-premium Carrot run sock. Buy from the Carrot store and look out for super exclusives, such as the Gold Usagi pin badge....

Future developments...

* We are working with Strava, Garmin and parkrun to integrate automatic time upload. Straight into your profile.

* We will also be opening up a new feature later on in the year where juniors, young, old or first-timers can race the 2km distance. Look out this Summer for more exciting releases.

Our most important goal...

Have fun, stay connected, be inspired, run and win!
