RunCats: Origins

Let's get the obvious out of the way. Why cats?

A cat that promises the story makes sense

What happens when you have a runner who moves overseas to a small town in the UK?

She doesn't know anyone, but she makes friends with the neighborhood cats while running. This is great because she loves cats, but it hasn't brought her any closer to running with people.

Maria and one of the runcats.

Fortunately, she's also a programmer.

As soon as she found out that other people wanted the same thing that she did — to safely find runners doing pace in her area and on her schedule — she wanted to make this happen!

Goal: To make it SUPER easy to find awesome people to run with.

The team and the dream
