RouteRival

RouteRival is a mobile app (with an optional web dashboard) that turns running and cycling into a simple, repeatable “time-trial” game. Instead of chasing generic leaderboards dominated by elites and cheaters, you pick a route you actually do (park loop, commute segment, weekend climb) and the app builds a personal course profile with fair comparisons: same direction, similar weather, similar start/stop points. It auto-detects your attempt from GPS, flags sketchy data (bad GPS drift, e-bike spikes, car-speed segments), and gives you a clean “best effort” timeline plus realistic improvement targets. You can create small private rivalries (friends, club, workplace) where everyone must verify the same course definition. It’s not a coaching app; it’s a motivation and measurement app that makes progress feel concrete without requiring a training plan.
