Reviews
I really love this program
"This was my first time using Run Across America and I liked it so much I signed up for the annual program. Being able to set a goal and watch my progress has really motivated me more than I expected. I love the encouragement from community members but also appreciate there is no pressure to post selfies or messages. It's just another tool."
— Rachel L. (5/5)
Fun motivation
"This app makes everyday fitness efforts feel less arduous and more fun. I like the scavenger hunt idea to keep my mind engaged in finding new things outside. I wish the navigation of the app was easier and that it had better functionality with Strava. It otherwise, all good."
— Arlene W. (5/5)
Review by Steven from SD
"I really enjoy the positivity of Run Across America. It is my only "social media", precisely because I look forward to my daily dose of positive interaction with others. Keep up the good work! I also like seeing photos of outdoor and indoor workouts and everyone's pets!"

I enjoy the RAA app.
"I enjoy the RAA app. Keeps me motivated! Hiking Hadrians Wall."

Soft feel and pretty color!
"I love this t-shirt, it's really pretty and comfy. I just wish there was a women's or v-neck option."
— Louise F. (4/5)
Great design!
"I loved the design and color for this tee shirt! I lived in Portland while I was in grad school, so I love having a tee shirt with Mt Hood on it. The tee shirt is super soft and comfortable. It is a lighter weight fabric, which is nice for warmer weather. I really liked the fabric from the Paris Olympics event for how breathable it was, plus it had more body, but the super soft tee shirts are nice too."
— Karma K. (4/5)
My favorite way to track my progress!!
"Love my annual pass! An opportunity to build a community, hold myself accountable and push towards my goals! Can’t imagine not using Run Across America anytime soon!!"
— Lisa B. (5/5)
Fun Run
"I am enjoying my Run Across America. I am actually running more and am over half way done already. 100K seemed very scary to me when I first registered but I am finding it easy to complete a little (almost) every day."
— Kristina V. (5/5)
Great for Accountability
"Winter Warmup is my third “season” of Run America and it will be my last for now. Not because I’m dissatisfied. Quite the opposite. Run America did exactly what I needed it to do. Help me be accountable in forming new workout habits. And now that I’ve done that, I’m moving on to something different. Highly recommend."
— Jennifer R. (5/5)
"Shirts are comfortable but I don’t always like the artwork."
— Sherri (4/5)
