First hunts · Johannesburg · December

Track it.
Get hunted.

Real places, real routes, and something on your trail. You pick a course, you run it, and the world runs back — checkpoints that open and close, creatures that read the breath you leave behind, and a story waiting when you finish.

What happens

Three things, every run

No treadmill, no fantasy map. You go outside and the game is already there.

01 · Before

Choose your ground

A city loop, a forest lap, a mountain that will take you all day. Every course is a real route somebody walked and marked — with the distance, the climb and the cutoff stated up front.

02 · During

Run it, and be read

Checkpoints unlock as you reach them. Your phone is the instrument: pace, distance, what's near, what's behind. Look up more than you look down — that's the point.

03 · After

Get the story

Not a number and a badge. Where you were caught, where you broke away, what the weather did to you — written from your own track, ready to send to whoever dared you into it.

The Veil

Something out there
hunts by breath

You shed it whether you like it or not. Run hard and you shed more. It drifts on the wind, sinks into the cool, and pools in the low ground — so the easiest line down the valley is also the loudest thing you can do.

Dawn is dangerous

Cool air holds your trail near the ground. A valley floor at first light is a basin of breath, and everything that hunts knows it.

Midday burns it off

Heat lifts the trail off the deck. The worst running conditions of the day are the best conditions to disappear in.

Water buys distance

Cross a river and your trail goes downstream without you. It doesn't lose you. It slows down whatever is following.

How the Veil works

Afterwards

Everyone comes back
with something to say

“Picked it up at the third gate and it did not let go until the river.”

Every finish writes one, from your own track — the stretch you ran fastest, the moment it closed, the ground you gave away climbing. Yours to keep or to post.

Not just for running

Build it, or race it

The same engine runs a Saturday club night and a 45 km mountain race. Bring your course, keep your rights to it, and use as much or as little of the game as you want.

For race organisers

Timing, tracking, live results, entries and payments — with SOS, escape points and field broadcast free on every event, whether or not you charge.

Run a real race → For course creators

Build a course anywhere and it stays yours. Invite co-creators, licence it to an organiser, or just make something for your club to run on Thursdays.
