Run the Realms is a fantasy-themed workout assistant that lets you run to progress the story

Run the Realm, a captivating new fantasy fitness app, plunges you into a thrilling adventure. As a survivor of a devastating otherworldly attack, your only hope lies in running—literally! Choose your path as a knight, mage, or thief, and level up your character by jogging, running, and cycling.

Gamified fitness is a booming trend, and Run the Realm perfectly embodies this. Let's face it, exercise isn't always exciting, but this app transforms your workout into an epic quest. Newly released on Google Play and the iOS App Store, Run the Realm invites you to become a mighty fantasy warrior, progressing the storyline and completing quests through various fitness activities—biking, jogging, or even walking.

Earn points to enhance your chosen character class (mage, knight, or thief). With your home city in ruins and only a disgraced knight by your side, running becomes your only option (or, at least, your primary method of saving the realm!).

Run the Realm boasts several engaging features, including a bardic radio station to accompany your workouts and immersive narration that unfolds the quest alongside your chosen music playlist. While the AI-generated art style might appear slightly muddy upon closer inspection, it doesn't detract significantly from the overall experience.

Ultimately, the app's success hinges on its ability to deliver an engaging story while simultaneously motivating you to achieve your fitness goals. If it manages to accomplish both, Run the Realm will have successfully fulfilled its purpose.
