Welcome to SharedRun!
or rather, welcome to the open beta version of SharedRun. What’s an open beta? It’s a test version that everyone can use. It’s used to speed up the testing of complex and innovative websites. This way, before going online with the final version, we can get user feedback on the functions that we have created and those you think need to be added. And it is this that we want to do: assemble and test together with you so as to add the best novelties every time we edit. We’ll make really speedy progress ...

We’ll be ready for 18th March
A first completely operative version of the site will be up and running in time for the Rome 2012 Marathon. It’ll contain all the functions we’ve thought of enriched with those you’ve proposed. SharedRun will be something unique of its type. And yes, it’ll be fun.
-
Let’s start by experimenting with RaceCam
The first set of functions we want to test with you is called RaceCam and it is the base to the experience imagined by SharedRun. It’s a 3D Race Course, created using Google Earth, where you can relive the performance of one or more Runners based on their manually inserted Race Times (every km).
[in a few days you’ll be able to add Times from GPS. Example: Garmin] -
Insert your Race Times if you’ve run the Rome Marathon in the last 3 years (2009-2011)
We’ve already put in the Official Ranking with your intermediate times (every 5 km) and Overall Time. Add the other km and see your Race again on the RaceCam 3D Course! NOTE: Any time you want, you can see the Race Statistics updated at the point you’ve reached (average speed, position, current speed, etc.)
-
Create fun eCards for the Race. Send them to your friends (also on Facebook!)
Add other Runners on the Course and watch them race together. Compare their performances: create a Challenge. Use the various Views to relive the Race experience in a spectacular way (view modes include first person view, Helicopter, Bird’s-Eye View).
-
Create fun eCards for the Race. Send them to your friends (also on Facebook!)
As you watch the Race, any time you want you can generate fun eCards with Race Statistics (rank, time, distance, etc.) and a comment. Use them as gadgets and share them with your Friends (you can also put them on Facebook!).
[within a few days you’ll be able to choose from various types of eCard] -
Activate your Profile. Comment with your Friends. Give points. (...make friends too!)
Activate and fill out your Personal Profile (both personal and sports). Use your Stream or those of your Friends to interact with them. Freely comment their Posts wherever inside the SharedRun environment. Give points to...almost everything (“+” function). Ah, by the way, you can also activate friendships with other Runners.
-
...that’s it for now...let’s make it work...
We forgot (impossible as it might seem) but at the beginning also Facebook offered an empty personal space! So don’t worry, everything will colour as soon as you start interacting with your Friends.
-
...that’s it for now...let’s make it work...
This first set of functions will be the foundation on which to build the rest. We’ll test it from the functional point of view. Then we’ll give it its final graphics (and that’ll be very soon, once we’ve tested some general functions). Then, we’ll add other functions :)
-
There’ll be something new every day
In this period, we’ll be working on the website continually (yes, on this very version that you’ll be using too!) modifying and adding things. As and when we introduce some important or special modifications, you might not even be able to access the site. Don’t worry: the black-out will only be temporary and all the data you’ve loaded will soon become available again..
-
We’ll soon be adding other Races
In the coming days we’ll be adding other Races so as to progressively increase the number of users and traffic on the site. You’ll find the updated list in the Race section.

Have fun!
At this point all you have to do is create new experiences inside SharedRun! Let us have your precious feedback on: info@sharedrun.com. The Race is the stage, You are the Star!
