Runtastic ^Company

DescriptionRuntastic is a mobile fitness company that combines traditional fitness with mobile applications, social networking and elements of gamification as a logical reaction to the Quantified Self movement. Runtastic is one of the world’s number one health and fitness apps. The successful company based in Linz, Austria, is best known for its flagship running & fitness app but offers a wide array of apps, hardware and services within the Runtastic portfolio. In August 2015 the company announced a strategic partnership with adidas. The goal of the young, international team is to make everyone live a more conscious, active and therefore healthier, longer life with Runtastic. The idea for Runtastic was born in 2009 during a college project and developed into the running app for leisure athletes by the four co-founders, René Giretzlehner, Florian Gschwandtner, Christian Kaar and Alfred Luger. Over the following years, a comprehensive portfolio has evolved to accompany and support the users at all times, night and day, on their journey to a better, healthier and more conscious lifestyle.
