A ghost is a recording of one of your past runs. When you race it, that run replays in real time alongside your current run, showing whether you're ahead of or behind your previous pace.
Race Your Ghost uses GPS to track your route, distance, and pace. Background location lets it keep tracking accurately while your screen is locked during a run. Your location data stays on your device and in your runs.
With your permission, completed runs are saved as workouts in the Apple Health app, so your activity history and rings stay complete. You can change this anytime in Settings → Health.
No. The iPhone app works on its own. If you have an Apple Watch, you can start, monitor, and finish runs from your wrist, with your ahead/behind status synced to your phone.
From any saved run's summary, tap Share to send it as a challenge. Your friend can open the link in Race Your Ghost and try to beat your ghost.
Make sure location and Health permissions are enabled, and that you finished the run from the app. If a workout is missing from Health, it may have been an older run — email us with the date and we'll help.
Race Your Ghost records your location and fitness data only to power your runs. Your run history is stored on your device. Shared challenges include only the run data you choose to send. Questions about your data? Email us.
