About
Skamper
We show you Britain’s Best Runs
Skamper has been founded by a dedicated team of lifelong runners who want to share our love of running and exploring new routes. We wanted to create an app that helps seasoned runners and people just starting out discover Britain’s Best Runs, while leveling the playing field across age and gender.
Our Values
Share the Joy of Running
We’re committed to sharing the joy of running, ensuring that each run is an adventure worth remembering. Sometimes it’s a great route, sometimes it’s the perfect conditions, great company, the competition, wearing the right shoes, simply not getting lost. The joy of running comes from many places and we want to share it far and wide.
Lower Barriers of Entry
The joy in running shouldn’t be constrained by level of income, access to a car, family commitments, or work schedule.
Give Fairer Results
Performance should be measured in a fair, comparative way. Achievements should be celebrated! Our results make the fairest leaderboards in the world, where every run is graded to adjust for age and gender.
Make Running Accessible
Great running routes should be freely accessible to all runners, not just those with confident navigation skills and good local networks. We give a range of distances, on a variety of surfaces and give clear guidance on following the route safely. Wherever you go you can run with confidence.
Look After the World Where We Run
We respect runners who want to limit their impact on the environment and choose to stay local or experience race routes in a lower carbon way.
Find curated routes
Explore our selection of varied, enjoyable routes for runners across the UK. Pick your favourite route in the app, go out and enjoy!
