about running mate
After being assaulted twice while running, Dena Lewis embarked on a mission to find a solution for safe running and created Running Mate. Running Mate provides real-time, on-demand, and verified safe running "mates" whenever you need them. Both runners and mates undergo thorough background checks to ensure safety, and mates are compensated for their services. Think of us as the Uber for runners, offering a reliable and secure way to enjoy your runs without fear!
Running Mate is live in Austin, Boston, and Tampa, and launching soon in Atlanta, Salt Lake City, Charleston, and Birmingham! We are eager to collaborate with local run groups, including participation in our beta test launch. It's essential to emphasize that we're not here to compete with your club but rather to partner with runners who share our goal of enhancing safety while earning some extra income. As you can see in this video, Running Mate is on a mission to provide the world with a safe running experience and we would love for you to join us!
