Run Buddy &
Local Guide
Two ways to be part of what we're building. Whether you want to run with someone new or help shape the routes and content in your area — there's a role for you.
Run Buddy
A Run Buddy is someone who's available to run with others in their area — whether that's a neighbor who wants company on an early morning loop, or a newer runner looking for a safe, familiar face on the trail.
This is especially meaningful for women and solo runners who want to explore new routes but feel safer with someone who knows the area.
Local Guide
A Local Guide is a runner who knows their area well and wants to help shape how it's represented on Run Ohana. You'd contribute route knowledge, flag inaccurate info, and help us build the most useful running resource in your region.
Think of it as being the person who gives a visiting runner the real answer to "where should I run?" — and making that knowledge permanent.
Sign up
Which role fits you?
You can sign up for both — many people are a good fit for both roles.
A note on safety
When connecting with a new Run Buddy for the first time, meet in a public place — a busy trailhead, a coffee shop, or a park. Let someone you trust know your plan. We take the safety of our community seriously and will never share your contact details without permission.
