About Runna

We're putting together a talented team to build the #1 training platform for runners. We help everyday runners become outstanding by building an incredible app providing world‑class training, coaching and community for everyone, whether you're improving your 5 k time or training for your first marathon. We’re growing extremely fast! In November 2023 we closed a $6.5 M funding round led by JamJar with participation from Eka Ventures, Venrex and Creator Ventures. In 2024 we were selected by Apple as one of three global finalists for the 2024 iPhone App of the Year, reflecting the innovation and impact of what we’ve built and now in 2025 we have just been acquired by Strava!
