RIA Member – Cheerri
Cheerri makes solo runs social.
Our purpose is simple: brighten everyday runs with human moments.
Running gives people so much – a boost to health, headspace, routine, a sense of progress and pride. Cheerri builds on that foundation by adding another well-known ingredient: human energy. A nod, a wave, a shared smile between runners can lift a mood, reinforce a habit, and turn an ordinary route into a shared experience, even when you’re running on your own.
Running clubs and groups already create powerful communities. Cheerri focuses on all the other miles – the quiet solo runs that make up most of our training – adding a gentle sense of “we’re in this together” that complements clubs and other organised running.
Our mission is to turn solo runs into an interactive social experience through playful signals, visible apparel, and lightweight games – so every run can feel social, on your terms. We’re privacy- and inclusive-by-design, creating a world where every runner – any pace, any body, any background – can feel noticed, safe and welcome. Our long-term vision: a world where every runner feels seen and supported, with millions of tiny cheerris lighting up the map – each one a small proof that movement and social connection work better together.
We’re starting in Bristol and growing through partnerships with events, clubs, charities, universities, cities and employers who believe in the wellbeing synergy of social connection and active lifestyles.
Partner and follow Cheerri as we build the simplest way to make solo runs social – and help more people feel that they’re moving through life together, not alone.
