Why UltraPlanRun

Every feature solves a real race-day problem

Built around the demands of ultra distance racing — not adapted from a generic fitness tracker. Every screen exists because something on a real race day needed it.

Step 1 — Build the plan

Upload a GPX. Get your race.

Drop in the GPX the race organiser publishes and UltraPlanRun pulls out your segments, distances, elevation gain, and predicted ETAs at every checkpoint. If your GPX already contains waypoints, your entire plan is ready in seconds.

  • Per-segment colour-coded route map
  • Daylight status at every checkpoint
  • Interactive map with satellite + standard view

Step 2 — Pace it right

Adaptive pacing tuned to your data

Import a FIT file from a similar effort and the elevation-aware fatigue curve shows exactly how your pace will degrade across the course. Your finish prediction is grounded in how you actually run — not a flat-ground average.

  • Auto-pace per segment from your FIT
  • Live fatigue-curve preview
  • Per-segment custom overrides whenever you want them

Step 3 — Fuel it right

Nutrition that knows about your drop bags

Set per-hour carb, sodium and water targets per segment, then either Quick Fill to a strategy or hand-pick from a built-in database of 60+ products plus any custom foods you add. Flag items as drop-bag pickups and UltraPlanRun auto-builds the drop-bag overview and a tickable packing checklist on your race-day PDF.

  • Per-hour goals with one-tap typical-range chips
  • Quick Fill that hits your targets in one tap
  • Orange "Drop bag" pill flags the pickup checkpoint

Built-in food library

60+ products. Quick Fill in one tap.

Search the catalogue — gels, drink mixes, electrolytes, bars, real food — and add to any segment with a tap. Quick Fill picks a strategy that lands carbs, sodium and water inside your goals so you can move on rather than fiddle.

  • Filter by gels / drinks / electrolytes / bars / real food
  • Add custom products that travel with your plan
  • Live progress bars show carbs / sodium / water as you go

Step 4 — Get there

Travel, accommodation & coach pickups

Capture your hotel, registration window, and every race-day coach pickup with embedded maps, postcodes, and per-stop reminders. Pre-dawn coach reminders break through Sleep Focus so you never sleep through the bus.

  • Drive, walk, cycle, or transit directions to every stop
  • Time-sensitive reminders that wake you up on race morning
  • Auto-derived crew route from your checkpoint flags

Step 5 — Race day

Your entire plan in one PDF

Generate a beautifully formatted PDF race-day pack containing your full plan — segments, ETAs, drop-bag checklists, kit list, emergency contacts, accommodation, coach pickups, crew route, weather. Send it to your crew, your pacer, or print it for the race itself.

  • Comprehensive multi-page Full Pack
  • Fold-into-a-drop-bag Quick Card
  • Black-and-white, ink-friendly, A4

Step 6 — On the day

Track the race live from your lock screen

Start the race tracker and your lock screen shows the next checkpoint name, distance ahead, elevation to climb, and a live ETA countdown — without unlocking your phone. Tap “I’m at checkpoint” each time you arrive to keep the ETA pinpoint accurate. Your race plans are kept as a history — if you’ve run the same race before, compare any two plans checkpoint by checkpoint.

  • Live ETA to next checkpoint on the lock screen
  • Drop-bag flag shown prominently when approaching pickup
  • Your race plans are saved as a history — compare any two attempts checkpoint by checkpoint

Race-day conditions

Per-checkpoint weather — plan kit around what’s coming

WeatherKit fetches the forecast at your planned arrival time for every checkpoint. The app flags cold, rain, and heat risk automatically and suggests adjustments to your fluid and sodium targets. Set a day-before reminder to refresh the forecast and repack if conditions have changed.

  • Race-day forecast at your actual ETA for each segment
  • Current conditions tab for recce days and training
  • Day-before reminder notification to recheck the forecast

Built for everything a race day throws at you

Safety & weigh-ins

Log per-checkpoint weight and get alerts when projected loss enters a caution or high-risk zone — critical for long, hot races.

Drop bags

One tap flags an item as a drop-bag pickup. The Drop Bags screen, Food to Pack, and PDF all update automatically.

Mandatory kit + your own

Race-organiser kit lists plus your own essentials (hotel keycard, ferry ticket, sponsor headwear) — apply summer / winter / mountain / 100-miler presets.

Per-checkpoint weather

WeatherKit forecasts for every checkpoint on race day — plan kit and hydration around the conditions you'll actually meet.

Race vs race

Run the same event more than once? Compare any two attempts segment by segment — splits, fade rate, HR efficiency, pacing strategy.

Share with a friend

Send your plan to someone running the same race. They get your route, paces, nutrition and kit — your personal data is stripped before it leaves your phone.
