France
Run & own Paris.
The Seine, the canals and two great woods bookend the city — Paris is endlessly runnable, and ready to be conquered.
Stride turns your runs in Paris 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.
