Run4Fun is a local community initiative. Each year our residential area organizes a sport-event between adults and children. The year before "Run4Fun" saw the light we held a "run around the block" competition. The team with the most lapses would win. Unfortunately the adults were largely outnumbered and we had no chance of winning.

At first our only option for next year would be to out-number the children...However during a preparation night, after a couple of beers and silly suggestions, we came up with the idea for Run4Fun: Each team-member must set up a personal target-time for a run around the block and every time a lap has been run with a time within allowed margins points are being scored. Finally, the team with the highest total points wins! So we started up a computer, DDE (took a bit more time) and started coding...

The first time we tested/used the app our kids were (as expected) too enthusiastic: they ran the first couple of rounds as fast as they could just to be ahead of their parents and then... they collapsed. This gave us parents/adults the opportunity to easily run our lapses within the 1 hour set and finally we beat our children with a higher total score! Our victory was sweet, we celebrated with some beers. Now we can focus (silently) on improving our conditions for another challenge next year.

We hope you have fun using this app for your neighbourhood, department or company event. Just enjoy running :-)
