Run & own London.
Royal parks, canal paths and the Thames — London gives runners endless ground to claim and defend.
Stride turns your runs in London into a territory game: every loop you run claims the real area you enclose on a live map — and rivals try to steal it back. The streets are unclaimed. For now.
