Ekidens is a Smartphone app that turns running into a fun social experience. The app uses the GPS, to allow users to engage in real-time running events with friends and thousands of runners around the globe. Ekidens user-experience was designed to employ gamification and social tools that imitate the thrill in participating in a real-life marathon. Using the app, users get the extra motivation they need to have fun during their running-routine and kick the virtual track. The "Social running" includes up-to-date vocal announcements and statistics about the user and his friends' progress. Did any of them just break the speed-of-light? Is he ahead of all the other thousands of runners? Are they running virtually at the same pace together? Now users can get encouraged by friends who also use the app, and fellow runners who are participating in the friendly running race. As one runner likes to say: 'Individuals score points, but teams win games!'Whether you're a newbie or a pro, or somewhere in between, know this: the runner's high, where you'll feel unstoppable and invincible, is one of the world's greatest feelings. And now it's awesome to be able to share it with friends and fellow runners thanks to the Ekidens app.
