Assist my run

Same event. Your pace.

Group runs shouldn’t mean sprinting to keep up or guessing the route. Assist my run uses GPS checkpoints and voice guidance so everyone — from fast 5K runners to walkers — can be part of the same event.

Built for mixed-pace groups

Most run events start together but spread out within minutes. Without clear markers, slower runners worry about getting lost; faster runners finish alone. Assist my run keeps everyone on the same course while letting each person move at the speed that feels right.

Fast runners Follow the checkpoint route without waiting for a pacemaker. Voice cues confirm you’re on track between turns.
Steady joggers See distance to the next checkpoint and hear gentle reminders if you drift off course — no pressure to catch a lead pack.
Walkers & beginners Join community runs and charity events confidently. You’re guided checkpoint by checkpoint, not by someone else’s pace.

How it works

Tap start. Run your way.

On any botle run event with a mapped route, open the event page and start Assist my run. Your phone tracks your location, detects when you reach each checkpoint, and speaks directions to the next one.

1

Register for a run event

Find a public run on botle — community 5Ks, club runs, trail loops, and more.

2

Allow location & start assist

Precise GPS lets botle know when you arrive at each checkpoint along the organiser’s route.

3

Listen for the next checkpoint

Voice guidance tells you what’s ahead and how far to go — so you stay included even when the group spreads out.

Why runners love it

Less anxiety about the route. More room for every pace at the same event.

Hands-free voice cues

Hear when you reach a checkpoint and what’s next — no stopping to read a map mid-run.

Checkpoint-by-checkpoint

Organisers mark the official route. You follow the same path as everyone else, one stop at a time.

Your pace, not the pack’s

Start when you’re ready and move at the speed that suits you. The route doesn’t rush ahead without you.

More people can join

Friends who jog, walk, or are returning from injury can register for the same event — and actually finish it.

“I used to skip group runs because I couldn’t keep up. With Assist my run I knew I was on the right route at my speed — and still crossed the same finish area as everyone else.”
