Updates

🎃 October, 2026

Welcome McWally's! They run Mondays at 5:45pm, the same night as Oaklyn Springs, so Monday runners now have two clubs to pick from.
Check in at McWally's just once and you've earned a $5 arcade game card. One run! Or walk. Or stroll.
They also have $1 wings during football season (Mondays from 7p-9p), which is a great way to refuel after burning all those calories.

The site now has a dark mode. Tap the 🌙 at the top of any page to switch to dark, or the ☀️ to switch back to light.
When you're logged in, your choice is saved to your profile, so it follows you to any phone or computer you use.
By default the site matches whatever your device is set to.

You can now log in with your username or your email. No more having to guess what you picked for your username.
"Remember me" is now checked by default, so you'll stay logged in longer.

You now earn badges as your total runs add up. These are counted across every club. Every run you've ever logged counts, so plenty of you have badges already.
Your best badge shows next to your name on club pages, and your profile has a trophy case with all of them plus how many runs until your next one.
There may be some secret badges in there with limited opportunities to earn them...

Your profile now shows how many runs you have at each club, plus every reward you've earned and whether you've picked it up yet.
Each club page now shows how many runs you have there and how many more you need for your next reward.

When you pick up a reward from a club, the club's admin is supposed to mark it as given so they can keep track. Sometimes that... doesn't happen. And then the 🏆 just sits there in the corner forever, teasing you.
Now you can mark it received yourself. Tap the 🏆 for a link to your profile, find the reward under Rewards Earned and tap the "I got it" button. It keeps the club's records straight and will make the trophy go away.
Please only do this after you actually have it in your hands.

Each club's runner stats page now has toggles to see stats by last month, this month, last year, this year, or all time.
There's a new Leaderboard page (available in the menu) that adds up your runs at every club.

The site has already prevented you from checking in at a club that doesn't meet that day or from checking in twice for the same day, but now that McWally's and Oaklyn Springs both run on Monday nights, it's easy to tap the wrong one.
Checked in at the wrong club? Tap Undo on the check-in message, or on your run in the club's recent runs or your profile, any time the same day.
You won't be stopped from checking in at two clubs on the same night, some people are beasts, but if you do then you'll get a heads-up with a quick way to undo one in case it was an accident.

While you should be here for the benefits of running -- or maybe just to drink beer like me -- earning free things is great as well. There is now a list of rewards you can earn on each club page (for clubs that offer them).
There is also a design change from last month: if you have the 🏆 icon displayed in the bottom right (indicating you have a pending reward), clicking on the icon will now tell you what the reward is and what club it's from.

Previously your user icon was a robot that was generated automatically for you. Those are now gone and have been replaced with the ability to pick an emoji as your avatar. 🎉
Whether you feel 😊 or 😢 or 🫒 about it... head on over to your edit profile page and change your avatar now! Unless you prefer to remain a ❓ - the choice is yours.

While you're editing your profile to pick your emoji, please also select your t-shirt size.
One club asked their president to collect everyone's sizes so they could get shirts made and we figured why not put it in one place for all clubs? You can always change it.

The user profile page has been redesigned. It's still a work in progress. I'm only medium happy with it. Expect more changes in the future... unless I get distracted.

The banner displaying today's run club (when there is one) now shows the club's logo as well. Some people were still struggling to easily find that day's club page.
A club's page will now display a count of runners that checked in for that day (only on the day that run club is active)

Runners that have earned a reward but haven't physically received it yet will see a 🏆 displayed at the bottom right of every page.

When visiting the list of clubs, the run club for that day will be linked at the top to make finding the right club easier.
It will also be highlighted on the list.

Runners were previously able to check-in more than once which was causing duplicate runs on occasion.
These duplicate runs have now been removed.
You may notice a change in the total runs or a change in the "Most Runs" leader.

Now that all duplicate check-ins have been removed, they have also been prevented from happening again.
Attempting to check-in more than once on the same day will show a warning that you've already checked in..

I wasn't previously posting what updates were made, but now I will (when they're big enough to be worth mentioning).
