Tap to try.

Start slow. Arrive anyway.

1

Tell Arrive where you are

Can't run yet? Start at the very beginning. Already running a bit? Arrive skips ahead. A few quick questions is all it takes.

2

Follow the run and walk

Warm up, run and walk in short bursts, cool down. A voice and a vibration tell you when to switch. You just keep moving.

3

Arrive

Your last run is a full 5K, at your own pace. Cross the finish and you've arrived.

Never run before? You start at Week 1.

It's more than a timer.

Gaps are fine

Stop early and Arrive offers a repeat. After a week or more away, it suggests your last run again.

Everything you're wondering.

Do I need to be fit already?

No. Arrive asks how long you can run without stopping today and starts you at the right week. No running experience? Start at Week 1.

What if I miss a run or stop early?

If you stop early, Arrive marks the run incomplete and offers a repeat. After a gap of about a week or more, it suggests repeating your last completed run. It never stops you from choosing what to run.

How long does it take?

If you start from scratch, it takes 27 runs over 9 weeks, 3 runs a week. If you can already run a bit, Arrive starts you further along, so it takes fewer. It's a plan, not a promise: everyone's body and pace are different.

Is Arrive free?

Yes, Arrive is free at launch.

What does Arrive do with my location and Health data?

Arrive uses your location during outdoor runs to measure distance and draw your route. Your route stays on your iPhone and in Apple Health and is never sent to us. Arrive saves each run to Health with its distance and route.

Can I run on a treadmill?

Yes. Treadmill runs work too. They have no route, so they have no map card.

Which iPhones does it work on?

Arrive needs an iPhone with iOS 26 or later. There is no Android version yet.

Your first 5K is 27 runs away.

Starting from scratch, that's all it takes. You only have to do the next one.
