The BIG PROBLEM TO SOLVE - we are committed 💪 💡 Why Runners Feel Stress – And How RunAgain Solves It! 💡 As runners, we’ve all experienced the stress- in fact, 90% is stressed on Race day - that comes with preparing for an event. The pre-race journey is often filled with uncertainty, confusion, and frustration. Here’s why: 1️⃣ Discovery – Let´s take the US, while everyone knows about the big races like the NYC Marathon, many runners miss out on the other 30,000+ races happening across the country simply because they’re hard to find. 2️⃣ Experience – Gathering race details is exhausting. Runners spend hours scouring Google, Facebook, Strava, and more, just trying to piece together all the necessary info. Plus, there's no central place to ask questions or get a sense of community. 3️⃣ Preparation – The toughest part? Knowing how to train and prepare. With so many questions—what to eat, how to hydrate, how much training is enough—it’s no wonder that 50% of US runners experience injuries every year, many of which could be avoided with proper guidance. At RunAgain, we solve these pain points with our all-in-one platform designed for runners and race organizers: ✅ Simplified Discovery: Easily find and book races with personalized recommendations. ✅ Centralized Experience: All the race details, runner reviews, training advice, and more in one place. No more hunting across multiple platforms! ✅ Trusted Preparation: Our tailored running programs provide structured, injury-preventing plans to guide you every step of the way. Whether it’s for a 5k or a marathon, we’ve got you covered! Let’s make running easier, more enjoyable, and more successful for everyone. 👇 Ready to get started?

Here’s a fun story from the RunAgain team! As part of the Techstars program, we’re currently in Indianapolis, and since we’re in the business of running, we believe in “living the brand.” So when we found out a marathon (Beyond Monumental) was happening in town, we were all in… except it was sold out. 😅 Not ones to back down, our team did some last-minute scrambling, even venturing onto Facebook to find “extra tickets.” Spoiler alert: we nearly got scammed. But we didn’t give up! At 7:30 PM the night before the race, we decided to try our luck at the expo. And, by some stroke of fate, we managed to get a couple of unclaimed bibs! With less than 12 hours to race time and no real training beyond our daily 5Ks, our team lined up for the full marathon. It wasn’t exactly what you’d call “optimal preparation,” but we’re thrilled we took the leap. The marathon turned out to be an incredible experience, and it’s another reminder of why we’re passionate about what we do. Running events aren’t just our business—they’re part of our DNA. Disclaimer: This is not necessarily the pre-race strategy we recommend to others—proceed with caution! 🤣 Here’s to being all-in for running, even when things don’t go quite as planned. We’re living the brand and loving every step of it! 🏅 Kudos Carl-Otto Karlengen and Alf Niklas Kalmár

The mission of RunAgain is clear: to build the world’s leading running booking platform, connecting runners with unforgettable events and empowering race organizers to reach more participants. Yesterday, I had the incredible opportunity to present RunAgain on stage at the Tech & Consumer Innovation: Human Performance event in New York, hosted by Oberon Securities, LLC. Huge thanks to Denis Cranstoun for the invitation — it was an absolute privilege to share our vision with such an engaged audience of endurance sports tech experts, partners, and investors. This wasn’t just a presentation for RunAgain; it was a moment to shine a light on our purpose and explore strategic partnerships that can take us further. The energy in the room and the “right on the spot” connections were inspiring, reaffirming our goals as we approach our upcoming Seed round. Excited for what’s next and grateful to be building RunAgain alongside such a passionate and motivated community 🚀
