Built and founded by runners

We’ve worked in tech, product, and design. Now we’re building something we’re passionate about as runners, rooted in the values we care about.

Our mission is to make it easy, safe, and enjoyable to find people to run with

Hi, I'm Maria!

I started building RunCats pretty much 10 minutes after I realized that other people wanted the same thing that I did — an easy and safe way to find people to run with.

I love to run and to share the joy of it with other people. Here's a little bit about me. Some of it may make it into my RunCats profile. Shh... spoilers. 🤫

I feel I can take on the world when... I listen to epic cinematic music

A run feels like a win when... I can relax into it, and I'm surrounded by nature and animals.

I'd love to know about you too, and why you enjoy running. Who knows, maybe one day we will match on RunCats 😊

Here's to creating something great!
