About
Dom Maskell and Ben Parker founded Runna in 2021. The app builds running plans around each runner's pace, from a first 5km to race day and up to 50km, with strength, pilates and injury advice, syncs with most wearables and has an AI coach, RunnaAI.
Runna first raised £500k by crowdfunding, then £5m in a round led by JamJar, taking its total past £8m; backers include Olympic triathlete Alex Yee. Partners include the New York Marathon and parkrun UK, and it won the Startups 100 2025 Marketing Award.
