For more than a decade, the Nike Run Club app has served athletes* with everything they need to start running, make sport part of their daily lives and better enjoy their workouts — building a sense of community with other runners along the way.

Now, the NRC App is rolling out new features to further prepare, support and empower runners: providing localized running tips before they head out and allowing them to share their real-time location with friends and family.

Both updates are rooted in Nike’s commitment to serving athletes free and distinct digital experiences grounded in coaching and guidance. They’re now available to NRC App’s active users, who can access the app on iOS and Android platforms in 11 languages and more than 160 countries.

A new know-before-you-go feature informs runners about local weather conditions and the time of sunrise and sunset as they prepare for their run, using the runner’s current location and real-time weather data.

The second new feature gives NRC App users the ability to share their real-time run location with friends and family who want to follow along digitally, even if they don’t have the NRC App. The feature generates a unique link that runners can share via text message or any other means, like social media.

With the link, friends and family are able to view the runner’s location and track their distance, average pace and duration. Once an athlete has finished their run, they can send an update to say they’ve safely made it to their destination.

This update serves a variety of users, including solo runners, training groups seeking to hold each other accountable and supporters cheering on a loved one during a race.

The new features join existing NRC App favorites, including a library of six training plans and approximately 300 audio guided runs that help athletes go from their first run to their first marathon, learn how to improve their pace and performance, or simply enjoy the mental break of a run at whatever distance and duration they choose.

The app also helps build community by allowing athletes to connect with friends and other runners through experiences and challenges in their neighborhood and across the globe. NRC App users can seamlessly upload their activities to Strava to share with their community across platforms and synch the app to their favorite wearable devices, including Apple, Garmin and Coros watches.
