Overview
Stride is a dating app built exclusively for runners who want to date other runners. Instead of generic interest matching, Stride connects people through their actual running lives—pace, distance, race goals, and training routines. The signature feature lets users find and match with other singles attending the same upcoming race, turning race day into a natural first date. Runners aged 22–45 who train regularly and participate in organized races can browse profiles with running-specific filters (distance, pace), match with compatible partners, and check in at races to find potential dates in real-time. Premium subscribers get unlimited matches, advanced compatibility scoring, and the ability to message before matching at shared race events.

Business Plan
Value Proposition
A dating app exclusively for the running community. Unlike general dating apps where shared interests are surface-level, Stride connects people through their actual running lives — pace, distance, race goals, and training routines. The standout feature: find and match with other singles attending the same upcoming race, turning race day into a natural first date.
Target Customer
Runners aged 22–45 who train regularly, participate in organized races (5Ks to marathons), and want a partner who shares their lifestyle. They're tired of explaining "why I run at 6 AM" to non-runners on Tinder.
