HOW IT WORKS
👥 Privacy & Visibility
Not into public rankings? No problem. Luup offers:
- Private Mode: You appear as “Runner123456” unless you opt in
- Public Mode: Show up on the leaderboards by username and category
- Change your setting anytime.
🔎 1. Check out the route
Browse the map. The route has:
- A mapped course with the location of the tags
- A full info page explaining the route and showing the location of all tags
- A START tag which you scan with your phone to begin the timer
- Mid-route tags which you scan to check in en-route.
- A FINISH tag to scan and record your time
- Live leaderboard access
- Each route runs 24/7. Just turn up and go.
⏱️ 2. Start the Timer
- Once you are happy with the location of all tags head to the START point.
- Scan the START Tag with your phone when you are ready to run.
- You’ll get a 5-second countdown… then the clock starts.
Keep your phone on you (in a pocket or band) and follow the route. The route has a few checkpoint tags to keep things fair — miss one and your time won’t count.
🏃♂️ 3. Run the route
- Follow the route as shown on the map
- Ensure you run in the correct direction – to the Diglis Bridge first
- Navigation is very easy – just follow the river over the Diglis foot bridge, and then round all the way to the kepax bridge and back to the start.
- IMPORTANT: Ensure you scan the mid-route tags
Keep your phone on you (in a pocket or band) and follow the route. The route has a few checkpoint tags to keep things fair — miss one and your time won’t count.
🏁 4. Stop the Clock
- At the end of the route (near to the start point), scan the FINISH Tag with your phone.
- Your run is recorded instantly — time, date, and route. You’ll see your:
-
- Finish time
- Personal best on that route
- Where you rank on the leaderboard
-
🥇 4. Check the Leaderboard
Each route has a live leaderboard. You can filter by:
- Overall rankings
- Gender
- Age group
- Running clubs
- Your own past runs
- You’ll appear as “Runner123456” unless you choose to go public.
🔁 5. Run It Again. Beat Your Time.
