The Koshio map: captured territories on a dark map
Koshio

Own the ground you run

Koshio turns your run into a game. Loop back to where you started, and everything inside the circle turns your colour on the map. Then someone else can come and take it from you.

How it works

Three steps

The rule is simple; the running is the hard part.

1

Start a run

Put your phone in your pocket and go. Koshio traces your route in the background, no need to watch the screen.

2

Close the loop

Come back to where you started. The moment your route forms a closed ring, the area inside becomes your territory.

3

Defend it

Your territory is visible to everyone. If someone loops over it, you lose that ground, and you’ll be notified.

Clubs

You don’t have to run alone

Start a club or join one. Create events, see who is coming, pin the meeting point on the map. On the day, take attendance with a QR code.

Announcements

The club’s own board

Organisers post, members comment and mention each other. A mention reaches your phone, and so does a reminder a day and an hour before an event.

Competition

Know where you stand

You have a rank in every city and country you run in. Even without taking territory, your runs move you up.

Features

What’s in the game

Live map

Who owns what, and how big it is, all on the map. Tap a territory to see its owner.

Clubs and events

Start a club, take members, run events. The attendance table records who actually showed up.

City and country leaderboards

You have a rank in every city you run in. Even without territory, your runs move you up.

Friends

Add friends, filter the map to just them, see who is ahead.

Notifications

Your phone tells you when your territory is taken, when someone mentions you, and when an event is close.

Run history

Every run’s route, distance, time and calories are kept. See your progress in charts.

Cheat protection

No territory by car or fake location. Every run is checked on the server against speed, distance and step data.

Three languages

Turkish, English and German.
